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

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.
