Random SAS truck I found at the local feed store

*Lower overall height by going to a shorter tire


Started out as an experiment to see if I'd like the black 20s on my truck, and to see how i'd like the lower profile.
Running a 255-35-20 up front and a 275-35-20 out back
The 275 looks much better on the wheel than the 255 does



Thoughts? Comments?

I love the new look Pat.

When did you do the black on the hood and grille?

And I think the 275's look better too.

Just too far for me. Don't think you can ever improve on the Lightning wheels. Those tires are too thin, small of whatever.

I think it looks great, Patrick. I wish I could go lower but I'd have some serious hacking to do plus I tow that 21' Ranger bass boat around...

If there's a will there's a way. (No pun intended on the will)

I like the chrome better, not a big fan of the all black wheel. But I think the 255 looks ok too. Just my thoughts.

Damn your windows are dark! Wanna inspect my truck?

It looks good though! I like the pic that makes it seem like it's towing the trailer
