zeitgeist57 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 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) http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=7015 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=7016 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=7017 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?

stangsn95gt Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 The truck looks even more orange in pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Looks better than the old ones, make sure the lugs have enough thread contact. Looks like the stud is barely part way through the lug nut, of course it could just be the angle/photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 looks good man! Definitely agree with Kyle, looks orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 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.

Richard Cranium Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I like the fit. Since you are going to paint the wheels, instead of white, what about painting them to match the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 i'd put some swirly hubcap wheels on it and slam it to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Needs more confederate flag then just add a creek, dirt ramp, photo and video guys and have fun. Bring a hot chick with shorts on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPL_Josh Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Looks good.but personally I'd go a little lower and smaller side wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I like the look of what you have there, and I really like the idea of painting the wheels accents body color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I like the fitment. Looks 100x better than the stockers. I'd paint it body color, and leave the machining personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2highpsi Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Would look sweet as hell pulling my Kubota around on a trailer. Considering how well it would match. :lolguy: Jk, looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm honestly surprised they let you drive this in UA. Do police camp outside at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Needs moar tire stretch and camber. J/k, I agree with color matching the rims and leaving the ribs with the machined look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 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.
