00, If we go to famoso you should run even if you are stock... You will catch the bug, and you will start figuring out where to get the dough to start boltin stuff on, and besides its good experience! You live in Bako also right? I think I remeber messaging you a year or 2 ago..
Yeah, we've talked on FSC before, I still never figured out what dealer you work at 1Blown04's truck is Silver Birch, I saw it yesterday, definitely a nice truck. I'd like to see your truck in person, especially with the dual STS's and what not, it should be a friggin monster. Who knows if I'd run my truck, maybe just for laughs, we'll have to see

Hey Grippy... Do those wheels you are running have a slight offset or are they the factory offset?

Fronts are 20x10's w/ 6.5" BS
Rears are 20x10's w/ 5.5" BS

This allows them to line up dead even.

Stock, the front track width is wider than the rear

the BS above is only for a 10" wide wheel.

I'm to lazy to go out and measure my stock wheels, but thats really not the issue anyway, hub flange to hub flange, the front end is wider than the rear.

All you have to do, if you have an HD, is go out, and from the back of the truck, and with your front wheels pointed straight, look down the side of the truck, the front wheel will stick out slightly wider than the rear.

Since I didn't like this look, all I did was order wheels to compensate for this.
Now if you look at the picture I took of my truck from the above position you will see they are dead even.

Kabeesh?

Do you have a link to the web site for your wheels? Where did you buy them? Looking for something similar... How many styles do they have in 8-lug?

No. But they weren't cheap by any means.
