Here's what I just aquired and am going to modify:

97 F150 Ext cab, 3dr, black w/ reg bed (no flare side)

I have decided that a Belltech 3/4 drop is what I will start with suspension wise but the wheel and tire combo I'm a little unsure of. I know I want 18x9.5's but the tires are still a big question. I want a tire that has a little "meat" around the edges to fill up the fenders but still be a low profile tire. I have seen some wheel pics from the Lightnings but they weren't very good pics..

I have spent 2 days going over the archives but I still haven't seen much in the area of what I am looking for so could everyone please post some pics or a link to your page if you have 18" wheels and identify what size tires you have? I plan on getting everything in about 5 weeks and I'm getting pretty anxious

Thanks a bunch!

Slmd97,

What brand tires are you using and how wide are the wheels? That is SWEET look!!!

Thanks for the pic!!!

They are 18x8.5. I lowered it with a 4/6 drop kit from JDM. Oh, tires are yokahamas. I love the look but may have to sell the wheels.

 

Here are mine..........285/60/18

 

18x9.5, 2.4 lowering, with 295/45 tires.

 

Those chrome L's blind me. WOW
