Figured it would be better to bring back an old thread than start a new. I'm looking at a 3/5 drop for my 92 and am having trouble finding pictures of trucks with larger rims, like the 18 to 20 inch range. Anyone have anything out there?

Thanks 86!!

I don't think the right set of 20's look like ***. Although I do agree the shorter/shallower wheel wells make it hard to pull off larger wheels. I like the black SVT above and would only put deep dish wheels on. Which is making it even harder to find wheels I like since nothing is deep dish anymore. I've just had so much trouble finding pictures of our old trucks that I don't even know what style wheel to start looking at.

That truck is pretty sweet. I just realized no one has mirrors like mine. I have those stupid aluminum freightliner mirrors.

And where does one get the lower valance? I like the larger one with fogs.

So, I'm on the phone with LMC right now. They don't know **** from **** over there. On page 64 is a Valance for 299.00 and an air deflector for 49. I'm thinking I'll just give em a call and find out what the difference is. One person told me the urethane valance is the same part except that the other is made of plastic and the urethane valance can withstand a collision, while the air deflector can't. I'm pretty sure I know the difference between ABS and urethane lol, but no one there could tell me what either of them were. So for 250.00$ more, you get the same exact part, but made from urethane instead of ABS?

Oh I get it. They'd be much better off putting an 'a/m' and 'oem' next to em. I'm getting that air dam man. It looks sweet. Anyone wanna trade some bullet hole style oem wheels with brand new Falken 31-10.50's on em for some street/drop friendly wheels and tires?
