I like em and the 0 offset will ensure they have a nice wide stance, will def. need to get an alignment after getting them on with new tires.. most likely will replace a few things on the front end too while im in there.. and funny thing is your the only one responding to my thread... texas boys gotta stick together i guess.

I don't even remember where you're from anymore. Yea I'm about to throw a bunch of money into mine- just got a pair of upstream O2's and socket, need to change both lower ball joints, D/S inner tie rod is loose at the joint, then change the downstream O2's. I'm just short of 167,000 on alot of factory stuff so I'm going through and replacing what money and time will allow in the next 2 weeks.

well this just got put on hold.. My truck threw a cel for Catylst efficiency.. though the exaust still smells ok.. i did tap on the magnaflow and it sounded like ceramic was bumping the shell housing..

so Im not sure if its plugged or just cracked.. i did take it through some nice puddles and mud not too long ago and its pretty rusted to hell and back..

SO i got the huges plate "replica" off ebay the dorman kit and felpro gaskets to use instead of the china ones.. shes going in the shop next weekend for the intake work and engine mounts my wife is doing it as my christmas gift

or one of them anyways.. her sisters bf's dad is doing the work

Cant find the factory offset to even use this calc.

That's correct.. those soft 8's are nice.

if i go 10" then I'm going with the soft 8's if i go with 8 " then I'll go with the procomps.

I'm just worried about the offset and it causing rubbing compared to normal... I posted that link but even that really does not make it much easier to make a fool proof choice lol

All depends on what tire i choose will dictate which route i go esp according to tire sizes.
