I have the same specs besides I have 16s. Guess I wasn't the only one then. My sidewalls get very close if not rub the balljoint cups on the uca as well.

getting the itch to start working on the truck with the recent spring weather. picked up some new rubber. race tread BFG's with some practi elaps on them, lots of life left. just thought they would be something different and I got them for a steal. I will be getting some new 17" rims at some point this week as well.

crappy cell pic. I may also tinker with cutting the tread more myself in places

decided to go with a cheaper wheel for now and tried to pick one that would still be cool and different. I want to get seats so going with these wheels instead will allow for them in my budget. I got the silver lip just to see if it will look good, otherwise I'll just spray them the dark silver met. I always use. getting them mounted after work tomorrow and should have them on the truck. I need to drive it to my house so I can start working on it again.

It was those or steel d windows. These are a aluminum take on them. I'll save the aluminum beadlocks for next year. Like I said it's all about spending less on something so I can spend more elsewhere.


Example
