front 16x6.00 rear 15X7.00. the rear tires are just bearly larger than the front, not by much. im tring to get big-little combo. but more like big-bigger combo. i don't like the look of small front tires.-josh

I think the front end looks just right. I just bought tires on Friday to start mocking up my truck. After LOTS of side-by-sde comparison of sizes, I went with 6.00 x 16" and 7.50" x 16". The 7.50s are TALL and I think the combo looks good. I actually bought 6.50s for the front first, then returned them because the difference front-to-rear didn't look right. I think you might be happy with 6.00 and 7.50 (16").

You car looks great.

32 box and arm, may use 40' arm.

[wideglide74]

Doesn't get much better. I like a 600/700 tire combo. I have a nice set of wide 5 wheels and caps, there your's if you want to pay for shipping.

[zgears]

that would be awesome!
