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 18" wheels 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!

Bill, that wheel/tire combo looks great! Do you think your tires would rub with a 3/4 drop?

Sorry for the delay in response - yes, I think it would probably rub. I want to eventually drop mine, but I would probably go with a 265/60/18 or even the size on the L's.

 

Thanks for the reply..
As of now I think I am going with 18x9.5 MB Motoring Flash wheels and Toyo tires 295/45-18.. This will prolly be the best compromise for me with the Belltech 3/4 drop that I ordered and if everything fits good then I will be happy
