here's this one the truck was kinda dirty but i think you can see the fender gap a little better. I think you still might be ok even with the 4/6

Man they look bigger than 22'' to me, looks very clean...I guess that drop really helps. It so hard to find aftermarket wheels these days that are not to loud, I like yours. That's why I went with the Esky 22's ...mine weigh in @ 88lbs, I just got some new center caps that get rid of the caddy logo... My tires are a little smaller than yours 285/45/22, that's what the Esky gets, they ride very nice for 22's... I'm going to take these heavy suckers off just for the track...the stock 18'' set is almost 80lbs lighter for all 4...I certainly could feel the diff in acceleration putting the 22's on...

Do you still have the 04' SS....how many truck do you have? Good lawd...LOL!

He still has the 04 SS and if you count his S-10 he has 3 trucks. All but the S-10 are lowered too.

Hey what mods have you done to your SS to run 13.8's in the 1/4? That's pretty sweet...

I just want to break 13.9's with this ride and still leave it under warranty. Trying to keep it under warranty since this is a new engine and tranny combo. nervous about bugs on a new setup..I'm pretty sure I can hit high 13's off of 3 mods, Intake, exhaust, and tune... I can always remove the tune for warranty work and the intake and tune should be fine from warranty stand point. I'll be running @ HRP on the 19th....I have seen slips on 2 diff NBS AWD Denali one running 14.5 bone stock and another guy running 14.17 on intake and tune....Leaves me pretty optimistic about getting my 2wd into the 13's by adding exhaust....
