Hello, everyone! New to the site and forums in general.

Anyway, just wanted to show off my lightly rusted pickup.

Also, does anyone have any pointers on the tires rubbing on the wheel arches?
It drive me crazy.

welcome; NICE truck

 

Welcome. Beautiful truck.

Do you know exactly where you're rubbing?

 

It's rubbing on the inner wheel well. The only thing that I can think of to fix it is to raise the truck (not really an option unless I buy new springs) or cut up the wheel wells. I decided that I don't care about these tires right now.

But if anyone has a good recommendation for shock absorbers, I'm all ears.

 

Get smaller tires.

 

what size tires? look like stock wheels. i think a lot of people with lowered trucks have like a 205/14 tire

 

I put 175/70s on mine. Looks good and doesnt rub. Check my build thread for pics

 

I just picked up some steelies with junk tires on them. I'll beat those up while I get the original wheels and hub caps powder coated then get some smaller tires on them. Do the 175/70 lower the ride height by much?

 

They should depending what size tire you have now. Go on tiresize.com and compare sizes. If the tire is an inch shorter il go about 1/2" lower
