    Just got the new wheels for the truck the other day, really happy how they turned out,thanks to my father in law, wanted me to be able to turn easier with a low profile tire vs a fat stock tire. They are 18 x 7.5 Zinik Sofins Z-27's with a 42 mm offset. Tires are Federal 215/35/18's Thanks to Extreme Taco September 09 M/T's for the great inspiration, I fell in love with them the moment I saw the feature/cover the middle inserts will be painted to match the truck, when it gets paint. Wanted to post pics and see what everyone thinks.Thanks to Dan at LCC for everything!

    The lst pics is a small meet Dan went to Saturday night, it was my sons B-day so I did not go. Notice the body dropped Toyota truck with the utility box on it, never seen that before, pretty cool, guy come to your house to service something and lays his work truck out LOL!

    That Taco is stored in my garage. The owner is a really good friend and fellow =Sunset= club member! I guess you can say I'm the caretaker! I clean the crap out of it!

    We had to put 18's back on it due to driveability problems. Gunner really loves driving it, so the 18's make it a little less worrysome when mobbin it around town! The 20's still get some love when we take it to shows though!

    You guys running spacers with these high offset wheels? I am looking at wheels right now and i will need them to tuck, but not really wanting to run spacers. I am looking around +20 offset on wheels, but can i run +40 wheels? Not going to wide, maybe 7.5 at the most on an 18" rims. Thanks

    P.S> bad ass trucks!!
