20s or 18s?

So, I'm lookin at rubber, and they have a set of toyo proxes there, 255 45 20, and he said I could git em fer 290.00 each, what do yall think?

no input eh , nobody knows tires around here?

thats a hell of a lot of tire. and expensive. i plan to run 20's one day, and i found 225-30-20's for under 200 a piece. rather cheap if i recall. 45 series is a lotta rubber dude. i need the 30 series to stay under my bodydropped front sheetmetal

yeah its beefy but i got real bad roads up here, I dont wanna kill my rims on the potholes, lol

Hopes and dreams are coming into reality now

I wonder what is lurking under the plastic?




Taa Daaa!



So Ihave yet to install them or even do a mock up, workin on the front end right now.

oh yeah, I dont wanna be the guy with rusty suspension behind new chrome wheels,

good luck tucking them wheels. it's hard to tuck anything over 20x7.5 without shortening your control arms, then you lose turning radius. sorry to burst your dreams, but it most likely ain't gonna happen. thats why billets are so nice. get em made to what size you want.

Boss wheels are all 20x8.5 in 6 lug, and MOST of their wheels are 12 to 25mm offset. Yours is the same as the Eagle 026s, with a +12mm offset. Boss is made by Eagles...

I bolted em up partially the other day, I was sold the wrong nuts, so I couldnt fully install em and let the truck all the way down onto the floor, so I have yet to see exactly what needs to be done to accomodate the size.
billet wheels are very cool , but for the look i want here i needed chrome wheels,
And I can always manipulate sheet metal, I have an extra pair of 4x4 fenders too, so if I need to flare out anything or whatever, It does'nt scare me , its not a daily driver I 'm not relying on it to get me to work or anything so it may take some time and body restyling to get it done, but it will get done, and it will be right.

Stay tuned, as this plays out ya'll will see what is required to get the job done, and hopefully it will answer a lot of questions about what can be done. And what it takes to get it done,
Looking at the tires, I should not have let the tire guys talk me into 45 series, I would say 40 should be the max, for ease of install and appearances sake.

okay so here is some progress pics, I am facing some issues with the front end , I will lose some turning radius, it should be okay, there is still quite a bit there to work with.://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l24/mazdamandan/dans%20mazda%20b2200/DSC01067.://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l24/mazdamandan/dans%20mazda%20b2200/DSC01065.://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l24/mazdamandan/dans%20mazda%20b2200/DSC01062.://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l24/mazdamandan/dans%20mazda%20b2200/DSC01070.

those rims are sick, but i think the tires are balloons, but the rims are freakin badass
