At what point do wheels become decor....
Hey amigos, looking at buying a foose F150, quite a few available, I'm more of a truck guy than a Mustang guy, roads up here suit a truck much better anyway.
The truck does come with 22" wheels as you all know, but I'm thinking of throwing Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snows on them for the winter and some 24's for the summer, probly Pirelli's, maybe Nittos. I'm still keeping my KR since it's my company truck, I just plan on running the foose in the winter occasionally for kicks, that and leting it sit for 6 months in the garage a year sucks.
With the bigger wheels I think, why not do 26's, or maybe just the Saleen 23's, those look bloody awesome.
So, I have crappy roads, but want the truck to stand out a bit more, should I stick with 23's/24's, are the 26's again improving cornering or am I just looking "gangster". If they handle better, great, but if it's just "gang sign" status, no way. I'm just a redneck that cranks hair nation and shoots stuff out in the bush.
With the conditions of road up here, and the truth be known it will see gravel roads too including washboard, so I'm 99% sure of wiping 26's off the list, I'm just not sure of where to be in the 22-24" range. Power won't be an issue, intake, tuner, pulley and exhaust will all come from TP, even maybe 4.10 gears if I end up with a 33.4" tire. Lowering he rear will also be done.
Thanks in advance eh!!!!!!
Mike.
