Picking up the new wheels and tires today.......

I decided against the 3rd gen wheels, so I'll probibly stick them back on CL. I decided to go with some MB Gunner 8 Rims, 18x8.5 with 285/60/18 Falkin tires. It should have the perfect back spacing and give the truck a nice sporty look.

Once they are on I will be headed to HMP sunday to run, unless the track closes due to rain. In that case I'll head up to Relentless Diesel and dyno the old truck again. Either way I plan to have a great weekend!!!

You're going to have to get a paint job, those new rims make the rest of the truck look bad. Nice slicks BTW.

Ill paint it to celibrate getting into the 11's on a VE pump.

Crossy, they are 28x14.50x16's.

No Aurora 4000 yet, ordering it soon though because the turbo on the truck is not going to last at 50+psi.
