    makes it look a little more "race car" than the dog dishes that give it more of the original/stock look. wether thats good or bad is up to you but i'd keep 'em. thean again your truck will need a new set right? lol

    The fronts are 15x3.5 with 165 15's and the rears are my slicks 29.5 on a 15x8 rim with 3.5 back space and yes they touch the wheel well lips [need to be rolled] but are about 3/4 inch from the springs

    I only need fronts and the 3.5'' rims look a little small on my truck and i was thinking of going to 5'',the rims on the rear i run on the street for the truck are 15x10's so all i woulg give up are my spare rims with the slick,just have to put a et street on the 15x8's and i could use them on the Comet and the truck for the track.[i only run the truck about twice a year].Derek.
