I have decided to go with 2 inch thick 5x135mm to 5x5.5 inch wheel adapters and I am going to run 15 inch wheels. I know I have to grind the calipers but since I got the 35 BFG AT's already I will just buy a set of black steel wheels and mount the BFG's on them. I was wanting to run 5x135 to 8x6.5 wheel adapters but the pattern overlaps and they will cost waaaayyyy too much. So now I am looking for a junk aftermarket steel wheel so I can do some back spacing measurements on what I want to order. The wheels will most likely be 3.75 to 4 inch back spacing wheels and with the 2 inch thick adapters it will put them at 1.75 to 2 inches of back spacing, which is about right where they need to be...

These are the wheels I am going to run. Flat Black, 15x10, and 3.75 back spacing...

Plans changed, Trailworthy Fabrication (406YJ and the others on Pirate 4X4) are running a special right now. Recentered Hummer wheels with tires 190 a piece plus shipping. When I get my taxes I will be getting them. I can't even buy 35 inch tires for that and replacement tires are tires are 75 bucks a piece...

I am going to use the BFG's on my two sled pullers. I can actually fit 15 inch wheels on a 8 lug truck easier than one of these trucks...

F150Radiator support

I have a 2001 F150 and the radiator support is completly rusted out on the bottom where it connects to the frame. I am going to attempt to replace it my self. Is there any welding involved? Is there any special allignment that I need to do? do I need to completly remove the fenders?

Any help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

It's kinf of hard to remove and replace cause of the way the inner fenders are made. It does require welding. If your core support is rusty then your body mounts will most likely be rusted like mine was too...
