Tires

I picked up a set of 33x10.5x15 bfg mudd terrain tires im going to put on my 78 f150. Here is my question....raised white lettes in or out? they are mounted on early 90's style 15" ford alloys with the white letters in now. What do you other dent lovers think?

I guess when I think about it, I would have to agree with that. Unfortunately its not that dark.

White letters inward. then its easier to clean up the tires outside when detailing them. just my opinion.

Well, I put them on today and left the white letters in. I may change them, I havent decided yet. The first pic is of the stocker 235 75 R15 and the second is after I put the 33 10.5 R 15s on.

I have never run with white lettering facing out on my 76 F-100, but was thinking about it a while back in how it would look. I know it would match my white Explorer stripes...lol.

The hood is bugging me. The paint is original, and the drivers door has been fixed once. It wouldnt take much to get something mixed to match pretty close, fixed the couple of dings in the hood, and shoot the hood and door. The problem is I have been working on my 74 for what seems like forever and I feel guilty spending too much time on this one when the other one is in pieces in my shop. LOL
