These are one piece wheels and come with one set backspacing.
But the U202 are 2-piece wheels and can be ordered with any backspacing,... and different sizes and widths.
I bet n2billet could hook you up with a set of these wheels,...

Making a litttle progress, got the motor up and running, installed the passenger inner fender and finished the exhaust, I will install the drivers side inner after I get the p/s bleed. I also made a antenna cover since I’m not using a radio and before you ask “no the truck is not free” it means “not for sale” :lol:

I also modified an old radiator cap, i enjoy the time on the lathe. I’ll paint it black before installing.

Did you also do a splash of color on the firewall? If not, it cleaned up REALLY well vs. previous pics.

What are you using for your flat black? It looks really nice.

I'm pretty sure the tires are 245/40 and 275/40.

Keith where are you getting that Medallion HR black paint from? I did a quick google search and couldn't find it. Also assuming you use the Satin finish?

Hey Graham57. It's sorta hard to find. It's a single stage satin black. Made by Medalion. They also sell Rubberseal clear products. I think company is Tekol. Something like that.

Thanks STP, I found the SEM HR black but they are proud of it. If I can't find the Medalion product I'll just go the SEM route

FYI for anyone else looking, same seller has them on eBay for cheaper

Re: Project: NO-LIFE,...
 
I agree, Simpletire has some great deals and even cheaper on ebay as you said. Thanks Keith
