wow I love both trucks, they look good I wish I had the stuff to put pic's of mine on here. I am running old 15 inch stockers, but the rear are 8 or 10 inches wide & deep dish, with 55 - 57 t-bird hubcaps on front & I think 57 ranchero caps on rear, with small trim rings. my problem is my drivers rear wheel is a 40's ???? type wheel & I have to run a 47 - 48 ford half moon type cap, but no one cuts & bands wheels anymore & I live above CHATTANOOGA TN where coker tire is & they have nothing for me, but I also love deep slot mags, that was back in my days. nice trucks guys.

Dodge 20's, will be 245/45-20's when rolling. Stock drum brake hubs turned to 2.9" to fit inside ID of wheels. Have 5 so the bed will have a matching spare.
Ford 15x5.5 front and jeep 15x5.5 rear with 215/70r15's and 275/55r15's front/rear.
Dodge 20" mounted (all 5). 1" spacer on the spare mount. 245/45r20's all around.

The center hole on the wheels are right at 3". It would not go on the hub enough to meet the drum brake surface, thus I had them turned since the wheels had already been powdercoated. As far as the drop. Djm beams in the front with cut springs (clearanced as far as I could without having to raise the motor for travel) and an axle flip in the rear with a front hanger flip. I have since installed my stock new moog springs and have unflipped the front hanger. Truck still has a rake because of no weight in the bed. Beam/crossmember clearanced for future bagging. 2.5" from laying radius arm without a lot more work on a 28" tire.

Verry nice set up both of you. I'm running factory suspension with a 1.5" drop in the rear to level the truck but I also have air shocks in the rear for when I have a load on it. So I should have no problem running them. I'm still running the factory's on mine. I hate how narrow they are. Anyone else with some aftermarket wheels?
