Thats a nice truck Smokin. All i'd do w/ that is, throw on a cowl hood, shave the door handles, paint the bumper and grille to match, and toss on a billet bowtie, and thats pretty much in for that view. Looks good tho, very clean

Dude, go 9.5 in the rear, and 8" in front. I have heard a couple of people that have had rubbing problems depending on your drop and tire diameter on the front, but hell yeah, always go with as wide as you can on the rear. I wish I could get my Stingray's wider than the 8.5 on the rear, cause I want a fatter tire, but they don't make one wider than that, and I already spent about $2000 on the rims. I wonder if I could get them widened with them being one piece Forged rims. I have always had traction problems with my truck and now ride with Caltracs which greatly helped but my ride is stiff as hell. I know another inch per tire in the rear would make a hell of a difference!

My previous wheels were 9.5's all around with a 30.5 diameter and I had no rubbing problems at all with the Hotchkis drop. I want to stay away from staggered widths and keep the same rim/tire on all four corners.
