Maybe just post your wheel/ tire combo or move on. I'm 40 so I guess I can call them wheels.

Here's mine:
Wheels: 20x8.5
Tires: 245/35/20
Front suspension: Mustang II w/ QA1 coilovers
Rear Suspension: Trailing arms with QA1 coilovers and Ford 8.8 axle

Great looking truck! What color is that?

jweb, I agree with your post.

What color is your truck? Does the color photograph accurately? Really looks great.

The photo is pretty accurate but it can look different depending on lighting You can drive by any Dodge dealership to see a new car in this color.

I still like the old 15’s. 5 stock leafs in rear, Mll with 2” drop spindles in front, 15x8s w/255/60R15 rear, 15x7’s w/235/60R15 front.

[reaper71]

here is my truck in progress.
Running 17x8 in the front 18x8 in the rear.
Suspension...rear is a triangulated 4 bar and the front is 73 Camaro stub Z'd 4" to get the drop I wanted with full suspension travel, tubular control arms and QA1 coilovers on all 4 corners.
Front of running boards are 4" off the ground.

Mine in mock up stage. Haven't dropped the engine/trans in yet so it's slightly high in the front.

Camaro clip on the front, the frame is just resting on the rear end in this pic but I plan on a 4 link with bags. Eventually I plan on bagging the front as well.

Rims are z28 5 spoke rally wheels powdercoated black. 15x7 with a 4.25" backspacing.

What width wheels and what size tires are you running? Looks good.

[BigDaddyV]

reviving an old thread 215 70 15 on 7" wheels front. 235 70 15 8".. 4" bs
wheels rear stock worn suspension open drive conversion and 245/60/15 8" 2.5" bs coming to the rear

[slammed57]

On my old truck (blue truck) 18x8 wheels with 245x45x18 tire and rear 20x15 wheel with 29.00x18x20 tire. I went with same set up with my current build but different wheel pattern.

[Dan in Pasadena]

Here's mine. 17x8 Boyd Smoothies with 235/55 tires.

I'm not really that happy with them. I got a super cheap (I thought) deal on them used only to find out they needed profession repair and re-polishing. Offset is incorrect for my truck so I have 1/4" rear spacers on them to lear the bedsides but they really should be 1/2" or possibly 3/4". I'd have not bought them if I'd seen them in person but they were out of area and my nephew picked them up for me.

I plan to check to see if my old 15" Torq Thrusts will clear the calipers in front if I use spacers (probably not) or will eventually change them out to something else, possibly 17" TT's in gray with polished lip.

I went with the stock look, kinda boring though.

Very old Cal Chrome wheels, 15x10 rear (295s) and 15x6 (215s) front. I’ve been debating on what to replace them with, but they work so I’ll take care of some of the other things before that decision has to be made.

Torq Thrust ll
17 x 7’s up front
18 x 10’s on the rear.

Thank you sir.
If anyone is contemplating coker STAs, they are the best bias ply truck tire I have run in recent times. Took little weight to balance. They drive/steer really nice after they get warm, which is usually about a mile of so.

[youngrodder]

Here is a pick of my old 48. It was a bagged modified G-body frame.
Front 245/45/20 on 8.5 rims with 6" of BS
Rear 275/45/20 on 10" rims with 4" of BS

On my 53 Suburban which has a bagged Porterbuilt chassis I'm running 255/35/22 front with 265/40/22 rear. I have not purchased wheels yet so my BS in unknown. NO pics of this set up yet.
