New wheels.....FINALLY! (1 Viewer)

[fj40z]

Finally got rid of the chrome stock wheels today. I picked up a set of 15" wheels at Discount Tire and put a set of 33x12.50x15's on that I had left over from my 40. Im really happy with the way they turned out and the price was definitely right. Heres a couple before and after pics.

Yeah I kept them, I thought about selling them but I may just keep them and have them powder coated.

 

[Fly Rod]

The early 91s and 92s came with 15s....and drum brakes in the rear.

nope but most likely cause they are non existent and he did mean 15's. This is one of the crossover 80's.... while it is a 93, its got a build date of 92 and has rear drum brakes. Just saw it and man it looks good, might have a contender for best build on a budget. This thing keeps lookin better and better, and untill now all he had done was take stuff OFF. keep the deblingification goin man, lookin good.

Youre right, the truck is a 93 with a build date of 10/92. It has drums in the rear which allowed for the use of a 15" wheel with no problems, didnt even have to use any spacers. Im glad it just squeaked in late enough to get the 1fzfe.
I am happy to say that with the new wheels the deblingification is now complete. I took the brush guard off within 25 minutes of signing the title

Please don't powdercoat the chrome!

Do you want to sell 'em? How much?

Does it have the bigger front brakes (post 8/92) and the 15" wheels still cleared?

 

[BooKilla]

I like the look....berry berry nice

If you are being serious, and want to buy them, Yes I will sell them.

Yeah, they cleared, but just barely with 4" back spacing.

Thanks a bunch, I picked up an ARB front bumper I've got to get on and Im trying to decide Slee's step sliders or SROR's step sliders.

Aren't you supposed to have a chrome center cap on those wheels?

 

[fj40z]

LOL! You should have seen the look on the guys face at Discount Tire when I told him I didnt want the chrome center caps when I ordered the wheels.

 

[MoGas]

15" STEEL wheels will fit fine on 93+ with rear disks. 15" alloys won't.

I am serious! I think the chrome adds a touch of class to rigs that look very 'trail'. There were some pics a while back of a cruiser on 20' spinners- with M/T tires on the moab trails. It looked sweet! (except for the spinners part).

Are they true 'chrome' (dipped) or is it spray paint- do you know?
