thanks for the info bro yea i seen your doored truck at freak show looks kool im planning on having mine cruizin maybe by blooddrag 08 or atleast spring fling 08! are u bringin yours to any of those shows?



not sure if we will be there or not, im building a house and shop right now, so the truck is on hold for awhile until its finished. if we get the truck finished early enough in the spring im sure we will be making some appearances. by the way, my wheels are a +50

ya that truck is badass, i was lookin for that one but couldnt find it.

the best bet is to figure out what kind of wheel width you want, and what kind of lip you want on the wheel to figure up what backspacing you will need, then get them, then do some measuring..... what i have done in the past is with the fender wells cut out of the bed, i measure the distance between the bedside, then subtract about 3/4-1 inch from the highest point that the tire will go, then i take the wheel width x 2 + 2" (wheels are usually 1" wider than the width listed) and subtract the backspacing x2, then i get the track width needed to tuck.....
