Looks awesome!
What size rims and tires did you go with, also how much did you lower your truck?

Re: new shoes for old green!
I can see going 16 or 17 but any bigger and some chopping has to be done for fitment.
Was looking at a realy nice newer Mustang wheel in 17"s they claim they can get any bolt pattern Didn't check the company but these where sorta twisted slots.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
