Default R/T Wheels pics

Finnaly got the R/T wheels on an the new tires mounted and balenced. i think they look pretty good! i had to grind a little off of the upper control arm on both sides for them to clear good. it handels way better, which is why i got the lower profile tires. here are some pics...

looks good, though id agree a little more tire would look great too... or dare i say a little more rim? defeats the purpose of the r/t rims... but i think filling out those wheel wells a little more couldn't hurt

Now one more thing to make that truck even better. CLEAR LIGHTS! Im sorry but I hate the amber lights. I think it cleans up the truck. I think that accully was my 2nd mod I ever did to my truck. My fist is my Optima battery. Damn I love that battery!

And that goes for you too Fox!

they are 9.5 inches wide!!! yea i was thinking about going with a 50 series next time maybe, i got them mainly for autocrossing so i like the shorter tires for the gear drop and no side wall roll, i only had to grind about an 1/8 inch off the outer lip of the arm, no big woop. thanks for the compliments guys. i am debating between the clear lights or spraying the vht on those to go with the dark look, have yet to decide though

Definatley looks good! I agree some more of that wheel well needs to be filled up either with more tire or a lower truck if either are possible.

LoL dude crazy what does it matter your lights and my lights are always covered in mud! so not exactly clear at all. But I agree I need some clear lens even when there isn't mud hangin off there.
