Yeah, he's got some good plans for his truck. He had an issue today with his gears getting swapped though, I think he got unlucky and took his truck to a shady shop but hopefully it works out for him.

Btw you got any pics of your truck with that drop in your sig?

I do take breaks from my fast paced life and drive north to the Bay area to see Old dried up Sea-salts who've washed ashore and are now land lubbers!

If you drive on streets and like speed racer get some lower series tires, if you do some crappy roads with an occasional gravel or dirt driveway/road get some thicker walls. The Drop is what makes or breaks a look IMO. Also if you don't plan on getting a tune anytime soon you might wanna stick with a tire that's stock height so your speed won't be off.
Tubbing would be like they do on prostreet cars were they make the wheel wells bigger. I just needed to see the pic's to understand how you guys did it because everything I've ever seen that was C-notched was taken to a bigger extreme like this:

I'm not really worried about the rims just yet (no money, lol). I've just been thinking about it a little the last week or so because I've seen a few trucks with 2/3 drops on 22's and wanted mine to look like that, but then I started thinking about a 4/6 drop and didn't want to end up with a tire that was too tall (I know they could fit, but it would be with a 30-35 series tire which doesn't have enough sidewall for me).
