As long as they balance out it shouldn't be a big deal if they are out of round

You might do well to remove the mods from your old rig... Old fuddy duddys like me never touch anything that's been modded.. Not that I'm in the market, although that is a darned nice truck...

Hey - would the wheels swap to your new truck?

It will eat the tire... Balancing is one thing, but when the surface of the rubber is not the same distance radius wise from the axle centerline, the tires will wear until it is...

Remember. This is the Legendary 7.3 Dave.

I was reading about the 7.3 in a lot of threads by one guy. Doesn't sound so legendary to me...

I will keep them in mind.

They aren't bad, I'll run them with these tires. Switch it all out when these are done. You don't feel it, can't hardly see it. 2005 was the change on bolt pattern.

They won't no. Be nice, but neither would swap over. Bolt patterns are different, 17's on the new one would be to small for the brakes on the '05. 10 bolts on the 19.5's too...

There isn't anything done to the truck that can't be undone easily.

Good morning everyone.

It is getting time(actually way past time) for my legendary 7.3 to go away. Too bad the cab is so rusty................
