Was wondering if anyone knew of a site that lets you place a picture of your vehicle and select different rim and tire combinations so you can decide what looks best before you've dumped cash on something you imagined would look good but just doesn't cut it and can no longer afford to replace them?

 

There is bound to be something like that, but I could never find it. I ended up just doing a Google Image search when I was looking for wheels and tires. It did help but finding the right offset (backspace) was my hardest problem. The 8.8 rear is just a little bit narrower and the TCI MII IFS is a little wider. I did end up getting the same wheels for the front and rear, with 1 1/4"spacers on the back. I also got smaller tires on the front than the rear so my spare will have to be the smaller one. I will obviously have to fix any flats quickly. Being my first ever frame off, I bought tires and wheels (the ones that came with the truck were dry rotted and the wheels were badly rusted) right away to ease in moving it around. Next time I will find some at a junk yard and then decide much later... Those nice Mickey Thomson wheels are now on a friends 67 Mustang GT 350.

 

There was site called CRUSIN GOLD that use to have something like that- if I remember right they are in FL and not sure how reputible they are or if it is still around. They sold all kinds of wheels and tire combos. Again I'm not saying buy anything from them but it might give you an idea.

 

Tire rack.com does but not as far back as ours

 

John, you may have already done this, but here are some pretty cool ones. I really like the UPS one, and the ones with the models - but hard to see the wheels on those

Two words "Photo Shop"...might be your best bet to use a similar software on your puter to see whatcha got. Many are free on the interweb or you can pony up for the real deal. I use Snag-It myself. It has a really nice web capture tool. Good luck!

^^^^^^ I agree. Photoshop.

 

Thanks for that link, there's a lot of very nice 56's there including one painted a similar colour. I'd rep you again if I could but will catch you again later. Thanks

 

Not sure if anyone has seen this or not, but midfifty has a handy wheel sizer that shows u what size wheels will fit the rear of our trucks.

With a few measurements a non stock axle could be figured off their stock baseline numbers.
