Well after much debate on what wheels to get
I called up Dicount tires and ordered me a set of boyd coddington Smoothie II's
18x9 and i got some nitto 555 295-45-18's for all the way around ..i also got a a hold
of some nitto 555R's305-45-18's for the rears
still waiting for the rims and rubber to arrive but my ship weight say they'll be around the 60lb mark mounted not too shabby for how much peformance i'm going to get
How much performance will i loose going to the 18inch rim and rubber the tires are shorter then stock
The nittos measure in at 28.31 inches or so about a inch and half shorter than stock
I hope that the added traction will ofset any losses in peformance going fro 16"-18"
I'll get some pic with them mounted next week with the new roll pan asweel

Cool! Like those wheels! Pics ASAP!

 

Get the Pics as soon as i get em on the truck now i have to decide which drop kit to go with ??
I'm thinking 2"-4" nothing to crazy but i want something that going to hook well on the road

 

the hotchkis 2-4 kit is the way to go. i have it and the only complaint is that it rides alittle rough sometimes but it's not bad. it eliminated my wheel hop problem too.

 

Cool Jim!!

What backspace did you end up going with?? Get some pics. I want to get some Boyds(Timeless) also with those tires.

 

hehe, ya'll keep not getting the rims i want I saw 'em 2 years ago, and fell in love w/ them. Sorry fella's, not tellin ya what they are either Just glad to see i've yet to see them on ANYTHING, which is rare as hell now-a-days

 

That is an all around great package, I think you'll prolly be under 58lbs for the combo, Should be great.
