I think the wheels and tires helped as much as anything. Looks great

[QUOTE=Classic Heartbeat;5963823]Tire size is 33 X 12.5 X 16.5
I am old school when it comes to white letters... I like them.

WES[/QUOTE

It's too bad the tire options in a 16.5" rim are now so limited. I've got 16.5 x 8.25 wheels and these same 12.5 BFG tires but would go narrower on the tire if I had a choice....

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-22-2013, 11:53 PM

Ya, I think now that 8.75 wheels would be a better choice for the front, but we wanted everything to match. WES

wild4wheels · 03-23-2013, 12:22 AM

I'll say it again here Wes - absolutely fantastic sir!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-23-2013, 01:10 PM

Thank you... WES

stomper · 03-23-2013, 01:17 PM

Your welcome. WES

eagleuh1 · 03-23-2013, 06:14 PM

Looks really good now. What can you find those wheels on if I was to start looking?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-23-2013, 07:06 PM

69 to 87 custom campers I would think. I found these on the parts board. WES

tommys72 · 03-23-2013, 07:10 PM

Good job, I like the factory look.

thepenguin99 · 12-15-2014, 06:52 PM

I looked at the pics and was thinking "not gonna respond because I like the stock height pics better". Then I come to see those are the "after" pics. Looks a lot better imo. It didn't look bad before. Just too much lift/tire for a truck that obviously isn't going to spend a ton of time in a mud pit.

Tinkermc · 12-15-2014, 06:57 PM

Soooo very nice !!!

Possmguts · 12-15-2014, 07:15 PM

Woah!... hows the weather up there?
Looks awesome.. thumbs up from a low rider guy

57taskforce · 12-15-2014, 07:25 PM
