A different look for the Bonanza
I am sure a few of you know that I had this truck up for sale . I really didnt want to sell it with the 20 inch Intros so I decided to change the wheels . I like the look of Torq Thrusts so I mounted a set . I dont know if I will leave it like this or take it back to stock but I thought I would post pics since I actually took it out of the garage today . If I leave these on it I will probably put the stock coil springs back in it so it comes up a couple inches in front .

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
That has a really classic look to it. I like it, Frank.

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
What size wheels and tires are they? Looks great. Is that a 5/7 drop?

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
Looks really good man. I just bought some 18's for mine. I kindof wish I would have went either 17's or 20's. Toyo is the only tire company I can find that makes both size tires I need in the same tread.

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
I like it, would like it even more with a slightly taller tire in front.
Wish I had the coin to try some larger dia wheels/tires on Yeller.

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
you should lower the rear an inch and call it good...I wouldn't raise the front if it was mine...just my opinion...looks good Frank

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
That's a clean classic look that anyone can appreciate. I agree totally with Chuck, just a bit more drop in the rear and call it a day.

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
Perfect stance. I think the rake on it is killer. Looks aggresive.

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
I'd leave just like it is those tork thrusts look sick on there and everyone around here loves a little rake

Re: A different look for the Bonanza
I agree with this. A taller tire up front (and maybe even raise it an inch) and it would look perfect. The current front tires are just too small and they make the rake look way more drastic than it really is. The wheels are classic and the chrome really brings out the brightwork of the trim against the all-black paint.
