n8ball2013 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm waiting for pics also... Any plans on changing the paint?? im thinking about it. There are some dings and knicks so id love to get it painted lets see what the budget allows first. i just spent a few thousand on wheels and brakes so paint will have to simmer on the back burner for a bit .

David711 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 wrong.. trust me I thought the same way and wrong on the second part too a 305/35/24 has a bigger sidewall than a 295/35/24 because the second number is a percentage of the first so it would be 35% of 295 or 305 and 305mm has nothing to do with the width of the rim my rims are 10" wide and I have a 295 tire on them 305 has everything to do with width of rim, 305 is width or tire and 35 is the sidewall and thats the percent of the width or the tire. you cant put a 145/35/24 on the rim if the rim needs a 305 width. it depends on the width of the rims to have the right width of tire.. just my .02 "WHOEVER SAID MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS MUST OF BEEN BROKE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red is Nice, I'm painting my truck Kandy Red as soon as I change the front end on mine.. would you ever consider colormatching the whole rim and just leaving the insert black? I think that would look nice and be different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 never thought of that but now that you said it. the black wheel looks nice. ties in with the windows being so dark.

310_cutty Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Like I said above I suck at photoshop... And yes I know this is not the OP's truck or rims. This was just done to get a visual of what it could look like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatBox Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 the issue is not the lugs its the lug well off the wheels. Its so narrow I can't get any socket inside the well.
