91 K5 -Procrastination Build - bikini top!

@Wes Harden im running 5.86’s. With the 43’s it was equivalent to a 31’s and 4.10’s, I’m guessing it’ll be like a swap to 4.56’s.

HAD moved to a new location and is supposed to be back to business as usual. I’m not really mad at him, just anxious.

yup 200ish rpm higher at 55. prob get few more mph per shift too

I’m struggling here. I’m going to make a tire change because I’m making a wheel change. I figured when I buy tires I might go down to a 40-ish because, while I LOVE the big tires, I just don’t need a tire that big.

I borrowed some 39.5 TSL’s from a friend to test fit, my first impression 2 weeks ago was that they looked awkward. They seem a tad small and they make the cut wheel openings look over the top.

All that said, I pulled it out again today and it’s growing on me. What say CK5? Would it look goofy? (strictly looking at it as is, I have no interest in changing or fixing the wheel openings)

I have the front fender liner out for work which I think is exaggerating the look.

Skip leg day much?

You’re giving me a complex, I’m going to my safe place…

 

[fourwheelerjeff]

Yeah, 15's are tough anymore. I thought I was quite lucky to find Toyo MT's in a 37x14.50x15.

I have those on my LJ

Cry closet is only for those who identify as a millennial. Sorry.

 

[nvrenuf]

Too much gray for that. lol

I think it looks fine. Mine is the same way. It has room for more but I don't want taller due to gearing and my weak 6.2L and also I have room to fully flex at the current size. If I go bigger it would probably rub.

Thanks. Going to a 40" tire will help, I love the 43's but they rubbed the rear of the front fender liners and the firewall rib pretty good.

Run it

Looks fine to me!

Needs an alligator clip to finish it out.

I don't think the wheel openings look bad. If anything, it just looks like it has a tall lift.

 

[nvrenuf]

I really appreciate everyone's feedback. I've pulled the trigger on a set of 39.5 Boggers and will be heading to Louisiana Friday to pick them up.

It'll probably be towards the end of the month before I can add any picture updates but hopefully I'll have the tires / wheels on and the rear driveshaft back in.

Next on the list is paint.

Going to cut them or leave them blocky?

 

[nvrenuf]

Gonna leave them alone and drive them gingerly. lol

 

[mrk5]

You can cut them when you want to try something different.
