Default New wheels and tires!

I was able to score some take off wheels and tires off of a 3rd gen Dodge Ram (thanks to craigs list) to put on my 98 3/4 ton. I liked the wheels and I had (had they been clean) but the previous owner went too long with out cleaning them and they just didn't look good any more, plus they were in need of new tires.

Here are some before and after pictures.

17 inch wheels with a little shorter profile on the tire. I had 275 75 r16 before and these 17 inch wheels and tires were not much taller than what I had before.

The old wheels were 16 inch with 275 75 R16 tires. I was searching Craigs list yesterday and saw someone who was looking for some wheels and tires of that size so I sent some pictures of what I had and have them sold. Guy should be picking them up this afternoon. I LOVE Craigs List!!!

That's my baby! A 1965 F-100 2wd that my grandpa bought new and gave to me when I got my drivers license. It was a beat old farm pickup that took a lot of work to get it where it is today. He gets a kick out of seeing it and riding in it.
