Re: Check out the new look!

What's the rim width and backspace on those rears? Is that the stock width axle too?

Thanks.

Re: Check out the new look!

First thing that comes to mind is "You might be a redneck if the wheels on your truck cost more then your truck." They really brighten the truck up and give it a totally different look.

Re: Check out the new look!

dude i know about the sierra!!!its still sitting in my driveway im trying to sell it but no one wants a car that doesnt move it seems.

the front crossmember is only 2 inches off the ground with the centerlines so it hits really bad on big bumps so i think im gonna switch back to the other rims. but one day i will put these back on. thanks for the compliments everyone-oh yea i have had a lot of people tell me that it looks like Jesus on my door!
