Default And now for something completly different!

Well here is my current setup, picked these up for $100. running a stock 245/70/17 which sucks im looking at different tire sizes i think i want to keep them around 29"-30".
now that i have wheels that can tuck i really want to drop it more but we will see...

truck is sitting a 3/3 right now, i will be dropping the rear in the morning and putting some small bumpstops in. then i need a notch before i will go any further

they aren't centerlines but I still like em.. looking good!
oh and depending on how low you go...

4/6 I'd personally try to keep the tire size around a 29-30inch tire since I like them to fill the fenderwells well.
any lower and a 28-29inch tire would be about perfect.

I'm at 5/8 and I'm getting some 255/45R20 tomorrow morning for my SS 20's and those sit at a 28.5inch.

thanks im still undecided, i want to see them with some wider tires though, these are ridiculous

Well i washed the truck up, and polished/waxed the wheels, then dropped the back down so now im at 3/4 again

Your truck is so freaking clean. I like those wheels better than the centerlines. The archers did nothing for me. Throw some nice 285s on there and it will look even better
