Updated Ideas
 
Well I decided against 16 inch wheels for 15 inch wheels, also I have been looking at Goodyear Duratracs (33x12.50x15). Ive got my wheel choices down to 3 options, they are all 15x8s with 3.75 backspacing.

Whats your guys opinion for my truck?

#1 Ultra Nomads

Ill try and get an updated picture of the way my truck is sitting now with stock wheels and lowered 2/3.

option 1 or 3, 2 is nice, but the other 2 are just a little nicer...

keep one thing in mind though, you are going to have a bigger lip between the inner part and the outer part of the rim.... like a deep dish effect with the 3.75 bs, than what it looks like in those pics

either that or there will be a significant taper on the inner part... either way, all 3 options are nice looking rims

Slam that *****

Taylor 05-25-2010 05:48 PM

yeah id love to see that thing bagged, slammed. Go with 1 or 2 if you are serious about lift. The contrast of the nomads against your dark (black?) truck would look nice. The black on (black?) lol would look good too.

Anymore Opinions?

GO FOR #3!!!!!!!

I think that would look sick on your truck!

(i'm a little biased on those anyway, I really want them for mine, but i dont want to lift mine... yet ;) )

But seriously, go for #3!!!!

ike34 06-01-2010 10:01 PM

I got it down to #1 or #3, I should be ordering parts shortly

The pictures dont do justice, they look alot better mounted, the lettering on the edge stand out to much in just the pic of the wheel

Taylor 06-06-2010 04:00 PM

Whoa!! ^^ those are nice. Me likey.

ike34 06-07-2010 10:25 PM

Bump

Taylor 06-08-2010 05:42 PM

What tires are you going to run? Have you made any decisions on the rims? You gonna re-gear or anything like that?

ike34 06-11-2010 04:50 PM

33x12.50x15 Goodyear Duratracs, I think Im going to the Ultra Rogues 15x8s with 3.75 BS and Im going to regear to 4.56s

ike34 06-11-2010 09:16 PM

GI_JO_NATHAN 06-12-2010 08:23 AM

I ordered Doetsch ones, I dont plan on jumping my truck or anything like that, so they should do just fine

Taylor 06-12-2010 07:23 PM

I lowered my truck when it was my only vehicle, now I aslo have a 89 Mustang and a 04 SVT Focus. Being Lowered was fun for awhile, I still like lowered trucks but recently Ive been using it alot more as a truck and its not working out very well and getting another truck isnt an option.

Heres some pics of my other vehicles

Im not sure yet, Im not sure if Im going to stick with my 7.5 and put 4.56s and a trac lock or get a 8.8 from my friend who runs a salvage yard and put 4.56s in that and rebuild the traction lock?

Taylor 06-13-2010 12:48 PM

go 8.8. Im loving that mustang. What exhaust are you running? or going to run. You plan on adding any power to the engine?

You asking about the truck? I got a Borla Muffler Im not sure what im going to do with the pipes, I already have a Xcalibrator and Underdrive pulleys.

ike34 06-18-2010 05:04 PM

Got my Doetsch spindles today, Im trying to verify that I got 98-00 spindles vs 01+, how can I tell the difference between the 2? There is a casting number but not a part number on them. Do they all come with wheel speed sensor holes? Its not a big deal if they are the 01+, then Ill just get bigger rotors.
