Still trying to decide on stance and wheel/tire combo for my new dent.

Here is the best side profile pics I have :



Could anyone photoshop these Renegade 5 wheels from summit on there?



the angle might be better on this one :




Worth noting : My current wheels are 15"s, and these are 17"s.

If you're really, really good I would like a little more rubber on them, and the rear lowered about 2" - almost level but still a slight rake.

I know the fake beadlock crap is 4x4-ish and cheesy. But I'm actually crazy enough to see if I could have a machine shop machine it off and I could repolish the lip.

Thanks,
Josh

 

If anyone else knows some nice polished wheels around $100 a piece I'm all ears. I just don't care for the styling of the ones on the truck right now.

 

Here's a nifty wheel/tire simulator at Big O Tires... they don't offer Summit branded wheels but is otherwise pretty cool... select year 1978 cuz that's the only one I found for a Dent... plus it's a shortbed.

I think he means 73. I messed with the simulator and '73 is the only dent.

 

I have an email into Raceline asking if it is possible for them to make some without the fake beadlock. If anyone else was interested maybe we could organize a group buy?

 

Thanks... must be my age catching up to my eyesight !

 

Biggest problem I'll have doing it is the picture of the wheel not being straight on. I can put the image over the truck no problem, but I won't be able to give a good representation of the look because the angle difference in the pictures

 

Here's what I got. Like I mentioned before, the angle is pretty far off. Because of that, I could really only do the front. I scanned google and didn't find any other pictures

p.s: sorry if it's kinda crap, but my photoshop and tablet drawing skills are a little rusty

 

like jgavac said a straight image helps. i tried lowering it but with my beginner level gimp skills this is the best i could do.

Thanks a lot! Not quite the right look is it? Too modern. Back to the drawing board

 

I still say leave whats on there now. They look great to me!

 

I watched Stacy David's Gears on Sunday, and they used the Raceline Renegade 5's on a lifted Dodge. Yep, they are definitely a 4x4 wheel!

I'm going with the ultra/summit 50/51 wheels I decided.



Going to do a drop shackle on the rear, remove the overload, and maybe another leaf, we'll see how she ends up. I want to be 1" higher in the rear, not 3"!!
