Cool little project. My first car was a diesel Rabbit. The powerplant was a , but 50+ mpg's was great for a broke teenager!

Are you gonna go AWD with the Vee-Dub?

go with a 275/50/20 on the next size the sidewall on those is almost perfect for your ride height, don't go too small. oh and btw those wheels really set your truck off the perfect setup man, good job!
