For all interested, here are some pics of my new supercar tires on widened wheels:

Hey Brimstone,
This will show you just how stupid I am but you're the guy I sent those screens out for the Ram-Air hood but I don't remember if you ever used them Did you ???

 

Sweet Brimstone...I just posted a wheel question then these bad boys pop up. Can you tell us $ amounts and such?

 

Wes - they are 315s on 1" widened wheels, no need for spacers just had to tie up the brake cable.

Spiro - thanks! I agree!

RobG - whats up!! the screens worked great, thanks so much for your generosity. Some billet screens would be best but that would be the last thing I do if I do it.



I painted the screens black.

How much? for tires,and also to have the wheels widend if its not top secret as it seems.

 

I got the tires from tire rack for 360 each. They list for $600 each (ouch)!! I guess they figure if you got a Ferrari, $600 is just chump change.

As far as the wheels I went through BABolt, he just gave a bunch of info about it today in one of these posts.

Looking VERY good Brimstone, do you have any more picture of your truck with that hood on it?? (The whole truck??)

Nice pics looks awsome. I love the tires and wheels, and that hood you can see the reflextion of the clouds. Now thats a shine.

 

Mike
Looks outstanding. How about a 3/4 shot of the whole truck.
To those of you that asked about the cost to widened the wheels, I posted the information where you can get it done. Spend the dime for the phone call to find out. There are no secrets but the costs varies with the years of the wheel and what your desires are. The information is a close as your finger tips.

 

BRIMSTONE

Did you get your wheels chromed before or after the widening? How much did the widening cost you? I have a 99 L and would like to go 1 inch wider, so it looks like you've got the set up that I'm looking for.

The wheels were widened, then chromed - I don't think you want to try it the other way around
