I've gone JDM YO!

[GrimRT]

Anyway, I took some pics tonight. They suck I know. I am a horrible photographer. I'll take some better ones later. The truck is 99% done, I need to get some smaller rings to make the rear wheels narrower, still waiting on my Gemtop, get a final good tune, and get a little paint work done.

Truck looks great Jon! Can't wait to see it run. :biggthumpup:

I know M&H's sizes run skinny, but those look a lot skinnier than the 12.1" tread width and 13.3" section width that the website lists. Those look like they could fit on a 10" rim, 11" max (yours are 12", right?)

nice dash :biggthumpup:

They're 13"s I am going to go to a 12" wheel. That should be good enough I hope. I think Mickey Thompson are out now in the same size but they would be wider I think.

nice dash :biggthumpup:

Thanks dude!

Along frick'n time :D Its been about a 4 year project. Hopefully I can leave it alone for awhile and just drive it.

Ok, that makes more sense. I'm gonna go 11.5" when I do mine, just cause the price jumps up to go to 12", I figure it'll be ok without the extra 1/2.

Yeah, the M/T's are 12.8" treadwidth, but they're also listed as 27.5" tall. When you get yours on a 12" rim, can you measure the actual height for us?

Are you going to stick with 17", but wider?

is that a reichard racing pulley I see? Nice truck:woot:

[dakotapimpc]

looks great man hows it run

hey slick did u get my pm?

[WeezyRT]

Nice!

Got any better pics of the dash setup? How hard was it to do that?

[bad360rt]

Nope, going 18's, like Jon posted. I'll be running the same tires that he just put on, 345/35R18 DR's. It'll be a while tho before I can go to that setup, but that's the plan :D

No problem. I going to order the wheels pieces this week so it will be a few weeks before they're installed.

[GrimRT]

Nice!

It wasn't hard but it took some planning and a bit of trial and error. The hardest part was making the wiring harness for all the gauges. I don't think hacking my original cluster apart to make it was all that smart but it worked out to be the easiest route.

[GrimRT]

Thanks dude! That is indeed the pulley.

On a side note the truck runs and drives awesome. I have some video I need to d/l and post so look for that next.

Will they be your daily driver wheels? I'm looking for a large wheel setup too. The stock size doesn't work for all the power I'm putting down with my blower. I need more bite, plus it will look cool too.

CCW wheels? What model do you like?

You could run the 325/45R17 M&H's on your stock wheels, I've had good luck with those.

Yeah, most likely CCW's, I like them the best out of all the wheels I've looked at, and if I'm gonna spend that kind of money I don't want to compromise. I haven't decided yet what style, I like the SP550's and the Classic's (that's what Jon posted). And I'll drive 'em all the time, altho my truck isn't a daily driver anymore, it's just a toy now. :D

[bad360rt]

Hey Jon, what size rim/tire are you running on the front? Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, could you weigh them? Thanks! :)

[Intense RT]

Nice work!:biggthumpup:

[GrimRT]

Hey Jon, what size rim/tire are you running on the front? Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, could you weigh them? Thanks! :)

They are 18x10" up front running 285/40r18s. I should have them off in a few days so I'll weigh them then.

[GrimRT]

Hey Jon, what size rim/tire are you running on the front? Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, could you weigh them? Thanks! :)

tires are 31lbs, wheels are 22lbs, total weight 53lbs.

[bad360rt]

Thanks Jon! Not bad, 10lbs lighter than the stockers, with looks to boot :biggthumpup:
