Next time I'm the garage I will measure it for you. The only bad thing with these rims are the hub design. They do not fit over the stock rotor unless you machine down the journal to fit them. It's a pain but I know someone that owns a machine shop and they machined mine for free. |

Re: My First
I finally have the front fit up and most of the gaps figured out. I have some wheel well issues that need to be taken care of but for the most part everything came together well. Let me know what you all think.
Also if anyone has some information on using the trailer fenders for new wells give me some pointers on what you did to make them work. Thanks |

Re: My First
Yeah, that looks nice!
I've got my stock inner fenders half bolted in, and even though I haven't put the truck back on the ground yet, I know I'm going to have to put taller bumpstops on the front so the tires won't rub. |

Re: My First
Lookin' good!
I've finally decided my air ride stuff. One compressor on each side, behind the cab tied to two 3 gallon tanks behind the seat. Then I'm running a 1/2" line to my valves mounted up on the radiator support. It's a little complicated but it's looking more and more like it will be my primary vehicle next year. |

Re: My First
Yea I do too. It is in primer right now. I am going with Hot Rod Black. I am thinking a bright red interior would look nice against the flat black.

Re: My First
