Hellaflush - Cleetus-style

Honestly, I've had the 15x7's on Cleetus for so long I can't tell if this is too far out in the rear...15x8.5" in the rear, 15x7 matching wheels for the front (not pictured)

Personally, I think the tire gap is just right, and I have rear air shocks in case I need to haul something heavy. I wouldn't mind an 1" more backspacing, but I'm not going to complain over $160 wheels. The tires are 255/70s, so going any wider would probably not be advisable:eek:

 

Thoughts?

I KNOW about the orange!!! I swear I bought Valspar's "FORD RED" from TSC...but whatever.

 

Thanks for the opinions! I need to get shank-style lug nuts (http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/GOR73137CRB.htm) and some center caps. Tires are going to be swapped out as well.

At Brent1976's recommendation, I bought a can of Klean-Spray stripper at Wal*Mart last night (as opposed to sanding/blasting the old paint on the wheels)....HOLY SCHNIT that stuff did the trick. Wheels are no longer orange. :)

 

I'll figure out how to tape off the spokes and rim, and I'll repaint the accents body color.

 

Also, I'll see about a slightly shorter sidewall in the rear, but rest assured the fronts will be 60-series (as opposed to 75-series now). Gonna have DAT STINKBUG STANCE. :cool:

That sounds like a good plan.
