this little project started out thanksgiving. and now im finally finished. we only had a couple of good days this winter when i was able to work on them. they turned out really well i think. hopefully getting tires in the next 2 weeks. and then on to the suspension. 2" spindles and a 3" block till i can get 3" leafs. going to go salvage yarding on spring break to try to find 4x4 fenders and a 4runner bumper in good shape.
here the pics...







tell me what you think.

not bad at all.. when i get my 63 bug project i'll definitely be getting these for it..

 

yeah i think that they will look really good on there. roads around here suck, so i didnt want to run a larger wheel, and i have always wanted these. im going "old school" with the truck. pretty much just clean and classic. got the wheels from jegs. they are the cragar version on baby moons. only about $55 a peice and no shipping charge.

 

Awesome looking rims!! What size are those...15 or 16x7??

 

15x8s. i think that i should have got the 7in wide ones, but these will work for the time being. i just cant stand skinny wheels on a truck. they will probably stick out in the front a little till i get 4x4 fenders, after that everything should be good to go.

 

Well they look sic & hope it all works out when you bag it!

 

whats the offset?

 

this is what jegs.com...

313 Series Smoothie Chrome Wheel
Size: 15'' x 8''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 4-1/2'', 4-3/4''
Rear Spacing: 4-1/4''

i think they may work. im going to be running a 225/60/15 tire. whats the lowest that i could go static with these size tires and not have a bunch of problems?

appreciate the comments. its been a long time coming on this truck. i think that im finally going to be able to tear into it and get it how i want it.

 

i'd go with a 225/55 instead.. it'll be jsut a tad smaller than stock and they wont look so balloonish

 

they are about double the price of the the ones im gettin. and they are extremely hard to find.

 

double the price.. where is that?? buy tires from www.discounttiredirect.com ..

 

discounttires.com dosent carry them. i done even think that they make them.

 

the 60's are fine, better now that i think of it.. i'm used to looking at sizes for 16's
