im s10 has a 16x10 with a 295/50/16 and they look like steam rollers. i can't imagine how big those would look.

good job.

Isn't it going to be a little difficult to rotate the tires? :rotf:

The wheels are HOT HOT HOT! Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

Those wheels are badass (and expensive). I'm suprised you still have a $20.00 bill left to show spacing! :rotf:

Woops...I forgott about my thread :rotf:

Quick update, the truck is back at my dad's house, the cab,both doors and both fenders are all done with body work and are ready to be prepped and painted. Although, it will be afew weeks as I'm trying to get my bed floor all done first. So I'd say in 3-ish weeks, the bed will go down for body work along with the hood. Actually come to think of it, the whole truck will be going back down there as I made a last minute decision to shave the door handles and locks as well as the tailgate handle.

I'll have some pictures coming this weekend I promise....I forgott my camera last weekend..but pics are on the way!

Some little updates...

Threw the bed on the truck this weekend.

Spent most of the day fitting/welding the fenders..

119-1917_IMG.jpg


Shaved the fuel door and also fabbed some stoppers for the rear end but I forgott to take a pic...oops.

Next on the list is to bleed the brakes, fab up some stoppers for the front control arms, and test fit the front end/cladding then it is off to the body/paint shop. We are actually gonna wait until the truck gets back from body work and paint to put the floor in the bed so that will be one of the last things to do along with coating the underside in POR-15.

Getting excited to see this thing painted though, I've decided to go with a paint job abit different then stock. Somewhat suttle, but different :tup:

Updates to come...

Did GT's come with the split window like that? ---

Mine did as far as I know and I've seen them on other GT's...although I plan on removing it in favor of the smooth window when it goes to the body shop.
