There's only a short section of Corey's 69 here, but, still, it's a C10 in action!!

Some of the guys were bragging on the truck about how much better it looked compared to previous events. Apparently, the new wheels and tires made a huge difference. Many were shocked to find out my truck is still just lowered stock suspension.

Matt, what size did you go to? I loved the stance you had before now!

Yes, it had 17's before. I never disliked them, but I was gearing more for autocross, and tire choices were very limited to almost non-existent for the 17's.

Actually, they did scrub. The inside lip of the wheel rubbed to front of the control arm at full lock. I either need to switch to tubular control arms, or add some steering stops. It actually wouldn't be an issue, but I discovered the stock control arms flex ALOT!!!
