Re: Dilema

Bags.. Then you will know how to get your wheels. Some people like to build around wheels but it's best to have your wheels made to what you built. Did that come out right..

Re: Dilema

Wheels first. You can static drop it for now, and bag it later. To me nothing looks worse than a laid out truck on old tired rims.

Re: Dilema

I say bags first. Then you measure for clearance and decide the proper wheel/tire sizes based on the room you have.

yea here too bag first,why buy rims that might not look right later,orig rallys look fine on a bagged truck or even nice hup caps and a good paint job on the rims and get the tires and rims when you fine the look your after

Re: Dilema

I went with wheels and tires 1st... bags are not a must if you set the stance right.

Re: Dilema

I would bag it first because you may have clearance issues depending on your bag setup.
also you can get all your measurement when airred out to see how big a tire/wheel you can run.
plus a bag setup is cheaper than a nice set of wheels

Re: Dilema

I would say wheels first, to me its better to build your suspension around your wheels. Just comes out better. And i would say a good bag job would be more than a "typical" set of rims i.e. boss, coys, ect. Also, don't skimp on the bag job. If you go with a crappy set up you will not like it and want to pull everything off. Seen it a hundred times. JMO though.
