Hey guys, just wanted to say THANKS!!!
They are friggin perfect. I cant wait to put on the rest of the drop kit. Dam these tires look good...

PHOENIX · 01-17-2003, 05:07 PM

It wasnt me

But when you get it lowered if you want me to take some pictures with my digital camera, I can do it. I can even shot a video of you doing some burnouts or something

Do you have a fairly fast computer that I could use to load videos onto from my camcorder? My computer isnt fast enough. I have some videos I'm sure the board would like to see.

i'm also planning on using 255 60 15s on my 15 x 8 Ralleys. i'd also like to go with a 5/7 drop, i REALLY like the way your truck looks Ryan. i'm not meaning to copy, just like what i see. would it offend anyone if my truck looked alot like theirs for a while, Ryan?

that's ok, that's probably about the same time mine will be getting done.

navybear70 · 01-20-2003, 04:42 AM

ahem...back to the tires, if you "big boys toys" guys are done sending testosterone across the country...LOL. !

I've got 255s on the rear with 235s up front, but I plan on putting the 255s in front and running 275s in back. Its a step-side, so's I's can do dat!

I took that diamond plate out of the bed and found out that it wasn't welded in, or even aluminum! It was steel, and heavy! Lightened the load in the rear... course now I can see my whole rear end. I now realize that I need to do something with the rear leafs, or get traction bars 'cause my whole axle twists up when I get on it. It looks like its stressing the U-joints. I'll take a pic and show ya'll later (nightime now). Its pretty funny looking.

PHOENIX · 01-20-2003, 01:07 PM

What about the damn video, TOM?

c10scotty · 01-20-2003, 10:09 PM

whats the widest tire you can put on an 8 inch rim? i have 235/60/15's now...how wide can i go? i still wanna keep the low profile of mine though

Tom · 01-20-2003, 10:30 PM

Video? Eddie Im not showing you my video. The girlfriend would kill me

Since the tranny isent actually bolted to the corssmember yet, I think a burnout video is a bad idea. Once its bolted up, then were on. Remember that tranny cooler you brought over? After driving around neighboorhoods for a while my tranny was hitting 180 degrees. Not supposed to go over 150. So I put that cooler in, and it has yet to hit 115

Jermey, do you think you can just walk in and take over my threads? Well ok just this once

275/60/15 tires are simple in back with a stepside. Thats what Im runnig front &back on my 78 with a 5" drop.

DAMN SKIPPY. and you better get used to it too!

navybear70 · 01-22-2003, 01:26 AM

Tom, did you have to bend the fender lips in any? I've got no rub yet, but that's cause the rear bumpstops are only two inches off the frame!

cheyenne10 · 01-22-2003, 11:37 AM

Anyone have a couple of good pics of these tires on 8" wheels?

With the 275/60/15 tires? Yeah I had to roll the front fender lips. The rears arent even close.
