Re: 1998 Silverado 2WD, nicknamed "Deadman"

Hi all;

well I've been busy for the last month with work so not much has progressed with the truck --- other than RIMS & TIRES!!!!!

Now, I was going to go with a set of Irocs as I just love the way they look. But, I saw a set of Foose's at a car show and thought they would look the best with the style of finish I'm going for in the paint and body mods....you have to wait and see what those are b/c I'm not telling anybody just yet!

In case anyone is looking for sizes for their truck, here's what I went with:

- Front -

Rim: 20 x 8.5, 5.25 backspacing
Tire: Nitto 420S 255 / 45/ R20

- Rear -

Rim: 20 x 10, 6.5 backspacing
Tire: 285 / 40 / R20

I like the way they look, I might drop my truck a bit more to fill up the space but I can do that later when I pull the box off to fix some other things...I read what other people had to say about sizing and I went with rubber that will still give a decent ride but will also look good to me.

I have another surprise that I'll attach after this that I'm even more excited about! -- Scrool down and check it out too!
