That was an excellent choice in wheel and tires! Wheel size, tire size, and backspace are perfect!

Nice thread and awesome work on the truck, you have something to be really proud of!

Excellent choice of wheels, the Torq Thrust gives it just the right touch between modern and classic look. :thup:

Absolutely beautiful truck 8) What size tires did you end up with on the 17's? You mentioned you did a hanger flip to match the dream beams...was that a full flip or half? Just wanna be sure!

Full hanger flip with helper spring removed as well and a 6* pinion shim to correct drive line angle.

Front tires are 235/60/17 on 17x7 wheels and 275/55/17 on 17x8 on the rear.
