    Wheels

    This is kinda directed at duckysbht but everyone feel free to chime in. Wondering what wheels you are running? I am looking for something like that and looks are not top priority, I am more intrested in weight but really like the blacked out look.
    Tired ol' 5.7, 5.3 swap in progress

    well since your truck isnt as low as mine. Mine had the 4.5'' backspacing on it. They didnt fit with my 4/8 drop, but I think it was because the tires bulge out so much
