5/7 and a 28" or 29" tire and itll be perfect! Looks good like this too. I just get nose bleeds at high elevation.
I would definetely like to lower it. At least a 2/4. Most of my money is going into the 68 first, though. If I come across any used 2/4 kits when I have money, I may get it, but for now, I'm not trying to spend too much since I'm saving up to do the Hot Rod Power Tour this June.

Yeah, they're not getting painted. After I got them polished out, I decided they look too good that way. Once I started cleaning and polishing, they weren't as bad as I had thought. I had to scuff 2 of them down with a Scotch Brite pad, then work up with 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit sandpaper and buff with a pad in a die grinder on two of them. The other two buffed out pretty easy with some abrasive polish, though. I still haven't had a chance to clean the truck up enough to get better pics.
Yeah, I'll be sure to hide the Stang next time. LOL
I might see if I can get someone to photoshop it lower for me. If I have some pics, it might help me sell the wifey on lowering it. LOL
no offense, but i will never, ever go back to a polished alloy. I had no patience polishing those damn wheels. anyway my rant is over. your wheels look good
what you could do.. get them all polished out and either a clear coat over them (might yellow.. maybe) or a clear powdercoat so you dont have to do that over.. or not.. they look great.

Thanks for all the compliments. It looks like they may be coming back off, though. For several reasons. The main reason is as I stated before, these are still my dad's wheels and my sister wants them to put on her Tahoe. She willing to buy them from him and he needs new tires for his 01, so it helps him out. Secon, as much as I love the way they look, they ride like crap and are very noisy. That's the main reason my dad took them off. It just got on his nerves. I always thought it was the crappy Goodyear tires he had on, but it's just as noisy with my Hankooks.
