The big brown truck came today!!!!
(my wife called to tell me :angel: )

!Of course i called the day early and rushed home, ('was not doing anything good except think about the 'package' anyway :smashcomp ).

Man those are serious skins! 14.1 wide!!!

I put one in the hole just for fun...But it definetely won't fit before i hit the sawzall! (tomorrow is saturday right???)

Still lots a work ahead but this is a real Motivation!

Hope link works!

I'll get the sawzall out soon...I really need to see these UNDER the car. I'm from the LOW cars club.

I'm still debating if i'll be re installing original rails or be going with custom. This *!%*!! decision is slowing me down and also killing me.

At least, now i have the tires and i'll be able to measure and then take the right decision.

Enjoy! (click on "view images" to see all pics)

You will love em, I like mine. Forgeline makes a sweet 3 piece wheel with custom offsets for your particular application.

The fun part is leaving two marks on the pavement that wide. Really gets people's attention, even from a poser like me.

Here is a link to Forgeline Trackrat, they can hook you up.

Thanks MrQuick!

I was inspecting the tires (bought 'em new off z-bay and had just received them friday) Nova is still here but is sold (Altough i can really see those tires under that car too...)
Thanks for the comment on the shop! I try to keep it clean, i like it the same way i like my cars.

Trackrat, i'm thinking of using Iforged wheels (AERO model)
www.iforged.com (http://www.iforged.com) But thats not a definitive decision...I'm looking around still. I LOVE their MONACO model too....

Budnick also makes almost all of their models in the sizes you'll need for 345's (in 18-19-20 x 13)... i really like their Hammer model but now, i'm shopping weight too. I just received my quote from Iforged (4200$) and they say a 20x13 is about 33-37 pounds and 19x10 for the front is about 24-27 pounds) i have no idea yet about Budnick's to compare but am working on that.

Bill, how about a "POSER" club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will keep those in mind for when I win the lottery.
:jawdrop:
Damb this is an expensive hobby.
My truck would look good with those on it 18/11 in front and 18/13 in the back. It will only take killing someone for me to get that kind of money.

what is the overall height on that tire?

Pirelli's web site states 26.8, i measured 26.5 laying flat on its side without a rim or air..But then, the tape in the house is bent :squint:
(Yeah, i keep em in my office!)
