Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nate, Google it. You can find all kinds of videos and write ups. I remember see something on this before but never saw any real results till now. I was looking to see if that person would come back with some tips but who knows. It doesn't look like a great process but I definitely could find some uses for it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well Paws72, I think it looks a bit sinister the way it sits now, without the trim rings.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
new Fel pro one piece oil pan gasket installed today. hopefully no more leaks. It was a gusher before with the old worn out cork gasket that was in there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
They are the Ridler 695 Chromes in 20x8.5 and 20x10.....the offsets are 0 for both front and rear. I can tuck them all the way and drop it down about 6 inches on the front. I have to roll the rear fenders a bit to allow them to tuck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I'm pretty sure they are 4.75" BS for the 20x8.5". I think this is the only backspace option they have for that size.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
honestly I dont know what the BS is. My wheel specialist went directly to Ridler to get these. Seemed every one was running Boss so I wanted a little different brand. What impressed me more was the a the Regional Rep personally delivered them to us here in Des Moines all the way from Kansas City. I have tried to find the BS for them, but that spec isnt offered or stated. Only thing in chart for Ridler is Offsets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thanks guys. I cant decide whether to put the new trim rings on or not. Believe it or not the wife likes it also.And since the mother in law is still alive she has say so also but it has grown on her too.She hasnt driven in about 5 years but she has had the itch to drive here lately. I know if I want her to though with her bad knees.Before and after

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Called to get a quote in doing a 700r4 swap. It's very tempting.
