Default New rims and tires for Lil Red.

Just ordered some white wagon wheels from Summit.

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Partial to wagon's. I know, evryone here runs Soft 8's. But I gotta be different.

Im gonna wrap these wheels with these
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....tination+A%2FT in 31x10.50R15.

The wallet will only allow me to get TWO this week and the OT check will get me the other two the following...Just make sure i don't engage 4wd.

At least for 1 week Mudd won't be the only member with his butt in the air...

Whatcha think? Let the bashing commence.

I figure 10.5's on 8" rims..and 3.75" BS should be fine for me.
(Doesn't look like my lift is gonna settle anytime soon.)

Besides, black rims. Not me.

Just hope the rims get here before Sat.
I have a tire dealer, literally, right behind my house. Eric told me the tires would be here TOMORROW. I said, "Saturday it is then."

FUNNY SIDE NOTE: My woman's 91 Laredo (DD) goes in for state inspection Tues. She works Tues. afternoon. She will be using Lil Red to commute to work. She picks up an older co-worker who can barely get up into our stock 91, NO WAY she's gonna get up in Lil Red.
I KNOW I'LL HEAR ABOUT IT.

I will post pics to my build thread as soon as they are available.

Took me a few seconds to actually realize why you like them.
IF anyone here in this forum would like them...It'd be you.

I need a pix of your **** in the air.

I like the white wheels too. I was considering them, silver cragers, or blacks but i chose what my gf chose, blacks.

Its exactly the same set-up we had on our lifted 1976 Dodge Aspen S/W (IronHorse).
Ah those were the days, 318V8/ 3Spd 11" clutch/ More steel on it then when it rolled off the assembly line.


Only S/W that you could change transmissions and not have to worry about jacking it up or using jackstands.


I really need to get those pics digitized and posted in the "Other Vehicles" section, right next to the Celebrity wagon (SkyJacker).

Like I said...Black rims...ain't me. Heck I can barely stand these SILVER stocks. Actually was thinking about going cream-colored with the stocks. But I don't like the B/S on them. The 3.75 will be alot nicer than the 5.5 or 5.75 that the stocks have. (Correct me if I am wrong on these numbers)
