I would like to, but doubt it - money is a little tight, and there are other things I would rather do before wheels. It needs a better stereo really bad! I end up spending most of my spare money from the second job on my car. I love racing the car and cruising it, but it takes a toll on the wallet.

The wider rims really make the 285 look much better..
I also have 285's on the stock wheels and they look much smaller then beastmode's truck.

I wonder how a 285 would look on a set of 9 inch wide wheels?

When you crank, is there a need to worry about the shock length?

this would be the way to go, i could tell that my tires were actually even too wide for my 8" wide wheels cause if you didnt have the right amount of air in em they would wear really bad only in the middle just cause of the top of the tire would like round off, i think a 9" wide wheel would be great

I like the Teflon Chambers, but whatever, they will be black.
