pics of new wheels..
i just went and got these wheels, they are 15x8 w/275-60 and 16x10 w/295-50 on the rear... I know it needs a drop and also needs a smaller tire in the front!!! the wheels are Eagle Alloys Series 102, and also a pic of my new seats that I got for it, I got them off a 2006 chevy, i like that style cause it has the seatbelts already with them..

Those new wheels look great on your truck and I do agree a nice lowering job would really enhace the look. I have the same bucket seats you have waiting to install in my truck. In the pictures are your seats bolted in already. I didn't realize how high the seats were when installed. I guess I'll just tint the rear window black so you can't se the headrests through the rear window.

Re: pics of new wheels..
no the seats are not bolted in yet, but thats how they are going to end up looking... yes the head rest does stick out, i was actually going to tint the windows today also but ran out of time, maybe till next week when im off!
biggreen- the rears are 16"wheels its hard to find bigger & wide tires for those, I looked all over...  here is a pic photoshopped dropped

Re: pics of new wheels..
since they are somewhat of a beadlock wheel, most guys put them on 4 bys, BUT I LOVE THEM!!!!
Now, I think they look better on a tough looking 2wd like yours. Bravo!!

Re: pics of new wheels..
Looks great! Make sure that when you bolt those seats in that you reinforce your floor. God forbid your in an accident and your seats rip out of the floor along with your seat belts!
