Putting 26" rims on my Ext Cab S15


Recommended Posts

Hate to break it to ya but its going to way more work than its worth. The axle under leaf setup in the rear is a bitch. Even that's only gonna get you so far...you would prolly need a body lift on top of that...which is going to make the frame stand out even more than it already does. You're gonna wanna find another dream!

i lol @ you for saying your truck does not need a new brake system.. for one.. even 50 miles per hour with all that rolling mass is going to be crazy to stop.. imagine in an emergency stopping situation.. also you're gunna spend all that money on rims..and a retarded lift kit.. and you're going to see shitty looking stock brake calipers through the rim.. fail

You will seriously need better brakes... Shit I notice my 22's when I have to brake hard. I have 2 2nd gen blazers and its a HUGE difference in braking between the Stock wheel/tires and the 22's, Now imagine 6's....

lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz.

This thread is fail. I'm going to say it because your vehicle is plain ugly. Everything from the paint, to the wheels, to the stickers, the dice, the wheel gap, the mirrors, and I didn't even get to see the rear or front end of the vehicle.

Get rid of those horrific wheels and put the stock ones back on for christ sake. You could have grabbed your self a few paint cans of one solid color and that truck would look better then what it is now. The dice on the window? Are you serious? AHHH man those wheels are eye gouging and that paint is horrible. Why would you do such a thing? Your truck looks like a prostitute gave the car a blow job with starburst in it's mouth.

TL:DR, repaint the car one solid color. Throw wheels in dumpster and put stock wheels back on. Remove stickers, and dice.

Then dump the shit out of it.

I had to say it. <_<

i heard if you crank the tortion bfars it will lift it like 3 inches. but i dont know anything about suspention

Yes you can lift it 1.5-2 by crankin the tbars...but I'm assuming this is 2wd by the offset on the rims. And if it is 4wd....ha have fun getting them 6's to fit. ;) either way...I doubt the time, effort and money will ever get put in to make this happen.
