The Shop Truck

I know this is gonna kick in some OCD issues but with the way the truck is, a mismatched wheel in the rear could still look damn good. The cab with gold and rear flatbed with black I think would still look good.

Gold Zinc on the bolts could also help compliment the setup.

Another option is to just spray whatever you get. I don't think this is a bad option at all in this situation.

I had thought about that as well. Unfortunately so far my choice is limited to the Battle Born wheels as nothing else is the correct offset.

Sorry I swear I had seen those with +25. My bad.

Unfortunately i think you are correct. Normally with the beadlocks and 8 lug, guys are wanting more track width with the offset, which I'm sure you know.

I'm thinking a nice polished/machined finish would look good too. I flipped through all the Battle Born wheels and found this one that's available in a +32mm offset. I need to check clearances, but I may be able to run an even wider tire with that set.

We realized yesterday that we only have 6.5 weeks until the start of Michigan Miles. We'll be taking the motorhome out for another trip for July 4th weekend so yesterday I built a "catch can" for it and got it installed. This is the bottom, the curved tube connects to the breather line from the RV, the 6an fitting is the drain and the other tube goes up to the top of the box for the exit.

Inside the box I split it into 4 chambers, it comes out of the tube on the right, under the wall, over the wall, under the wall (clockwise) then up to the top and down and out the tube on the top left.

I put some stainless steel wool in the two open chambers to try to catch some of the mist.

Installed.

We'll see how much oil it catches and if it fixes the oil spatter all over the back of the RV.

Well, the current lead time on the battle born wheels is 6 weeks, so I guess that's a no go. Hopefully the tires don't spin too much in the wheels, I'll have to tame down the launch if they do.

Maybe @folkenheath has some options?

I just talked to battle born, they said they can make it happen.

Everything I have heard about them has been positive. That will be cool!
