The rear black rims look good, do you have a front set. Nice to see a different color.

Love the truck! Are those 9.5s up front? I'm in the process of getting wheels now and am anxiously measuring and looking, almost was looking at 24s to tuck but not quite sure how wide these trucks can go in front. If they are 9.5 up front how does it turn and rubbing at all? Thanks much!

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Thanks Chrisxeasy!! My tire size is 265/35r22. It turns lock to lock with no problems. They only rub if I'm fully locked and hit a bump, that's minor though.. No other issues at all..
