Re: new rims!!!

I envy you, that is the perfect setup for a great hot rod stance. You gonna bag it or go with springs?

Re: new rims!!!

If you can post or send me a couple side shots of the truck and rims at the same angle i could photoshop it for you and drop it too. It would give you a good idea what it will look like

Re: new rims!!!

Just alittle heads up, you may want to test fit them. If your runing stock 6 lug all the way around, the hub site will most likely be different sizes. I ran into this problem with my boyds. I ended up going disk's all the way around and having my rear axles turned down.

Re: new rims!!!

What's wrong with them Sno Mags? They were so cool in the '70's.

Had to do that to fit mine as well. Make sure you check the center-bore of your new wheels. Most of the newer wheels have a bore that is too small for the axle flange to fit inside. Had to pull my axles and have them turned also.
