Default New Little Project Paco Is Working On
Here is a sneak peak of the new shoes going on Paco's 08 Chevy single cab short bed. This one is going to be heading to Madman for some tub and suspension work then will be getting a new powerplant.

Tires are 405/25/24 and wheels are 24x12 rears with a 9" lip and 24x9.5 fronts. A little show a little go.

***Updated Pics*** Excuse the picture quality they are from a camera phone. I'll be taking some new pics soon.

Looks like Intro Twisted Vista 6...

Anyway, how are you going to get a 405 tire on a 12" rim?

It's gonna be sick, however you get that to work.

Which Discount Tire did you get them from?

Also how did you get a 9" lip on a 12" wheel? Minimum backspace is 4" on any billet manufacturer that I've seen.
