Hello,
Just thought I'd share my newest purchase. 1992 B250, 130,000 miles, 318 OD auto. Runs and drives great and the only through rust is on the rockers. Helped my brother buy it and he is going to turn it into a custom van. Picked this up for $500.

Not bad, except for the termite damage.

Nope the tires and wheels are mine. They were about $800 for the rims and tires and mounting. Came off a 87 Ramcharger 4x4 and the tires and rims are meant for rockcrawling. The guy wanted $400 more for the stock aluminum rims that have the round holes in them. So I put my extra set of wheels on, they look sweet on there too.

Well, those tires and rims look sweet, but your body panels are going to shred those tires and Visa versa. There is too much offset on the rims, the tires stick out too far for a stock suspension.

We put the correct dodge rims in the front as they did rub just a bit, the back wheels fit fine. I could massage the front wheel wells a bit to make the front ones work, but my brother didn't want me to do that. He was also worried it would wear out the front end because they stick out too far and the farther out the weight is applied the more wear and tear on the suspension. I think my brother plans on putting chrome smoothie rims on it with the correct offsets so each wheel is flush with the outside of the body, like it is now.
