Update: last weekend I started to remove the tattered vinyl and I’ll be sure to post pictures when it’s done (it’s been a pain in the ass even with a rubber wheel [emoji849]). Also, I’ve been looking extensively for wheels for the truck - I plan to do a 5/7 drop to the truck. Opinions on these wheels? How to you think they’ll sit with the back spacing? Any help is appreciated as always

Man, I really wish you were going to keep the stickers... lol. I like those wheels. I think the backspacing will be fine. Idk about when you do a drop though. Everyone and their dog has used them, but some 18 inch torque thrusts would look great on your truck. They are timeless like a rolex.

Here's what I ran into when I lowered mine with 17x9 Cragar Soft 8's. The wheels you're looking at have 0.5" less backspacing than the Soft 8's, and you're planning to go lower than I did, so tire and spindle selection will dictate whether it all fits in the wheel well.

Thanks for the heads up!

I like the wheels but I’m going for a different look, I’m really digging this guys setup

That'll look sharp. That destroyer grey really pops on the 400s.

First of all, congrats on the find. That really is a rare gem you found. I think it'll look awesome dropped, but I might be tempted leave it untouched since it is so clean.

I agree
