I like that look. What size tires are those? I've got a 2" lift incorporated into the chassis that joescoolcustoms built for mine. I have the transmission geared for 29-30" tires. Some that size would definitely help fill the wheel wells.

| I will get the exact size this weekend. The fronts are 15"wheels with 24"dia. tires. Rears are 17" wheels with 30"dia. tires. Width of tires were chosen by side wall shape tried to keep same bulges F to R. |

Ok, thanks! I was afraid they would be 17's or something like that. Trying to find some 29 - 30 inch tires that will fit a 15x10" wide rim isn't as easy as one would imagine. Found a few street tires that would do it, but nothing with any kind of all terrain tread. Hoping the guy that wants to trade the 10" wide ones for the 8" wides.
