YES! 2 more inches of shiny rim makes all the difference! Can't wait to see them on your truck.

And thanks AK. Mine has a bit of a grandpa look to it with the canopy and all, but I love it.

Buck, are your wheels 16” or 17”?- i like the look of those wheels, but i like the 17” wheel ( mostly because im cheap and i would have to buy new 16” tires to go on a 16” wheel)!
And dont think of it as a grandpa look, think of it as a gentlemans look!

They are 17" Eagle Alloys. After my 2000 F150 was totaled, I bought this truck with them already on it. They looked pretty faded and cloudy but a mothers power cone and polish brought them back to life. The tires were so new they still had the little molding dimples on them so that was a plus. They are stock 265/70-17 Geolanders.

I just realized AK's blue truck has a canopy on it. No intent to offend with my previous comment, I hope it wasn't taken that way.

Depending on the offset, they may not have that dish. The second pic in the set shows about as much as yours.

Nice truck by the way I like the color.

This pic of my old 85 GT came up in my FB history today.... this was where it all started, some 24 years ago.

My good friend's dad had an '85 GT in Jalapeņo Red. We did a tune-up, flipped the air cleaner lid, and took it to the drag strip for grudge night while the 'rents were on vacation. Took first place (more luck than skill, believe me), but couldn't tell anyone! His brother still has the trophy stashed away somewhere.

My 86 was red. I miss this car immensely. I had this one and the 89 at the same time.... and I was tired of driving sideways in the winter. My Sister sold me her 91 Explorer, which left me with 3 vehicles. My Dad, although he didn't come right out and say it, was obviously thinking "this kid has 3 cars in my driveway", lol. So, my friends Dad asked me to sell him my 86, so I did. Actually made a little money on it. But sometimes I wish I woulda kept this one instead of my 89. I love me some 4 eyes.
