the rim is 7.5" wide can't remember the offset, 31mm I think, the weight of the wheel and tire combo
stock wheel and tire = 39.5 lbs.
Silverado wheel and tire= 43.5 lbs.
No rub

Well I got the suspension done yesterday.....man this 52 year old is tired, well that and I hit my hand with a hammer...damn ball joint fork. Anyway, it looks and handles great. I replaced almost everything, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, re greased bearings, shocks, redrilled hubs for 14x1.5 studs etc. etc. etc. oh and lowered rear too. Here's some pictures of the carnage. The front studs fit 1980's Toyotas, part # on box, drill bit 5/8". Enjoy.
wow.. and i was worried bout doing 215/45 cuz i thought it might rub. 235/45 it is then. lol and weight is not too big of a diff. considering rim is 3" bigger.Originally Posted by meandmit
btw, cool pix updates.. the rims def. change da whole look of da truck. looks dope! did u lower da rear by takin out a leaf?
Thanks, the rear has 3" blocks
outta curiosity.. how big are da stock blocks? I've nvr lowered trucks b4 so idk.
It's basically just that, a piece of aluminum 3" thick, you can get them in 1", 2", 3" or 4" and you put them in between the axle and the spring hence lowering the car that amount. Normally the rear axle sits flat against the spring. There like this http://thesuspensionsource.mybigcomm...-HARDWARE.html
