    How'd you get 16's on the front? Or is your truck older and you have a 2006 front end on it? Either way looks good, now go test 'em out

    If Mexico wasn't 2k miles away I'd be down. Canada on the other hand is only 2 hrs away from me.
    Thanks Zach. the stance is starting to grow on me.
    Frenchy, the 16's fit. I think once you get down to 15's is when you have to grin calipers or go with the calipers from the S-10.
    I tested them out on one of the back roads around here. They certainly do hook better than my 20's. My butt dyno tells me that it is accelerating quicker. Track times will tell all on Saturday. I snapped a better pic of it's stance. Gotta get used to how low the front is too, Damn curb jumped out infront of me earlier!

    Thanks all. I'm gettin all kinds of looks drivin around with them on. Guess it looks kinda intimidating. On another note, my daughter (3 1/2 yrs) is constantly asking if we can go race. Guess she's gonna inherit my truck when the day comes.

    Can always get 04 and older bridges, rotors, calipers. Did it on my 05 so i could run 16's. 35's were cheaper that way.

    So should I not have been able to fit these 16's? I've got no rub issues on the calipers. Only thing I've noticed is that the hub openings are a little bit larger than the stock rims. I'm just going to make sure the lugs are torqed every hundred miles or so.

    Yeah, 16s aren't supposed to fit on disk brakes.

    I guess I just got lucky with the rims I picked up. I have zero contact between the rim and caliper.
