New wheels!
1 Attachment(s)
Well I got my new wheels Monday. They are "unique" wheels from Discount Tire (the same as Cragar) They have four inches of backspacing which means with the 31s on there I had to do some heavy fender trimming.Not too pretty now, gotta do some finishing work to look good:) Would have posted earlier but Tuesday I had broken the passenger side CV shaft. But anyhow I have the new wheels on. By the way, thanks to everyone who did their CVs and posted. That helped me out a lot. More pics in album check it out.

your truck looks pretty good though with the new wheels, but the pic is kinda small. you should get a photobucket account, makes for nicer pic posting. don't worry, i was in the same boat as you awhile ago, and it's pretty easy once you do it a couple of times. saves some space on your HD too. :) |
Might be a dumb question, but how did you go about cutting your fenders? I might have to do that on mine. Looks pretty good and smooth. A little grinding at the top and your golden. Do you just cut out the section and bend the inner fender to conform to the new shape?

I just took a sawzall and did what you said, but watch it on the side in the pic on this post the saw hit a bolt and shot up the fender lol; anyhow I like how it turned out. The inner fender is steel so a good size hammer and some "love taps" will get it to go perk near anywhere you want it :)
The truck did look "naked" when I first took all that stuff off, but the longer it is naked the more I like it.............BUT I am thinkin of putin the Blazer badges back on the doors |
Thanks man, I'm gonna have to try that sometime. I'm like you I don't wanna do it unless I really need to.
Black rims on a white truck, just nasty man :icon_drool:. Really liking it! |
Looks really good man! If it were me I wouldn't have cut the fenders. I would have spent the $60 on shackles and lifted it 2" to fit the 31's. That way you don't have to cut anything ;)
