I have 265/50/20 right now. Not sure if I am keeping the centerlines or not, however if I do I'll most likely run a 275/45! If I move on with a 22, is run something similar to the 275/45/20 height

Truck looks good but I'm a little biased lol. I'd say new headlights/corners, darker tint and 06 front end. I really much rather the fully painted mirrors with chrome caps but to hell with taking these DL3s apart. Did it on my last mirrors and it was a PITA.
Do you rub any in the front with the new tires?

Sometime Tapatalk images will swap with another uploaders on another forum if they're uploaded at the exact same time. That's why sometimes totally random shit like that pops up :rofl:
06-07 front end is going to happen soon.
New headlights, corner lights, and fog lights are he next thing to buy
Yes I had to roll the rear fenders and mini tub the front, then roll the front fenders. My guess is these centerline wheels I have a tad too much backspace! May swap them for my Texas editions and sell them and save the cash for a set of 22s. The tires almost tuck in height and they are 30" tall

Gotcha! Well thanks for clearing that up! j was wondering wtf was going on
ray:
Personally lightweight wheels setups are very neat IMO. I love how light Centerline's are. If I had the change and confirmed that they would fit, I would be on string ray III 22s in a heartbeat. With that said, it is hard to beat reps. Like you said...most other wheels are gross.
If I am correct the 22" Centerline's have am issue with backspacing on the front. So it might be similar to what you have going on right now with your setup.
BTW my truck is between 3-4 in the front and 6" in the rear. I run 265/40r22 and love them.

I love the tbss wheels! It would be hard to pass a set of those up! I love how light my wheel/tire set up is it makes accelerating and braking much easier for the truck and I noticed a bit of a mpg gain when I did them as well! When cleaned up they look amazing, but they aren't backspaced to tuck and I know that! I got away with rolling fenders and a mini tub on the front but I wouldn't have had to do that with the Texas Eds.
I did get the caps on and it looks better, so at least I have that going for me right now
I still have to play with the suspension because I have a lot of driver side lean, so that being said if I have to adjust a whole lot then I'll end up going down more. I wouldn't mind running a 4/6 but I know my tires won't allow that right now. My driver front is at 29.75 and the passenger front is 30.25. I think I started with 33.00 in the front before any drop
All this talk of Centerlines makes me wish I would have kept minekay:
It will be hard to part with mine, but I am kind of faced with doing that since mine have 5.00" backspace. At first they rubbed the upper fender but since I did the mini tub they haven't. If I had the opportunity to snag some 22" TBSS wheels, or another style 22" rep ( even tho played out, they look the best ) I probably would jump on it!
I could put my OE Texas Eds back on but if I had to swap wheels Id just jump to a 22, just because 22s on lowered crew cabs look clean AF
There is a chance that mine will be for sale before long.

Just off the top of my Head...
- Your wheels do not work on that truck. They dont flow and look cheap(even tho i know there not).
- Your paint looks brutal. Whoever "colormatched" it looks like they did it with a Crayon. Even the stock paint is all faded and shitty. So a fresh respray on the colormatch componenets and find a proper paint correction specialist in your area.
- Your headlights and taillights are toast. Get a new set on Ebay
- No fog lights, so get a GM valance and Fog light set
- 03-05 Front end leaves a lot to be desired. Get a HD hood and 06 Grille....of course have those painted when they fix the rest of the issues
- Drop it Down another 1"
Really the biggest thing is Keeping it mint and clean. Doesnt look very well cared for to be honest
Some of that may ahve been covered before, but thats where i see the downside

Im not gonna act like i have all the answers, but just keeping your shit clean and tight makes them look good!

Hmm definitely want dibs. hit me up when that day comes

I kind of agree with a lot there!
- The wheels are most likely going to be taken off soon. I love them but they don't fit right and I know that, and ive had to hack up the inside of the fenders to accommodate the backspace. At the moment they do fit and don't rub but deep down I know it is just bandaid.
- The truck needs to be repainted, there is no denying it. I am sure I could do some paint resto, but in the end it needs to be repainted.
- Some of the color matching will be removed when I do paint and body. I am going back to chrome bumpers, with CM top cover, and factory black lower valence. Mirrors will be completely paint matched, and the front bumper gap is going to be addressed. Someone mentioned a HD bumper, but IDK
- I just ordered new head, corner, and fog lights. The tails are actually really sharp, its just the camera. If anything id buff them, or have them wet sanded and cleared again. I am not getting rid of them.
- My truck came with fog lights but someone stole them! either way I just ordered new ones ( perks of a once lifted truck, easy access to stuff )
- the 03-05 front end will be replaced with the 06-07c when I get to the paint and body work
- As for now I cant go any lower because of the tire size and wheels. Once I decide on wheels I will get tires to accommodate another inch of drop all around.
So that is the plan anyway. For the mean time I might pull the centerlines off and put my texas editions back on for a while. Sell the centerlines and start a fund for 22s. The sucky part of all this is I want it to looks perfect, but I am right in the middle of a motor build ( iron LS1 with TBSS heads/intake ) which is consuming a good amount of mod money. So hopefully soon ill be able to have the look I am after and the bite for its bark! Any for the record, yes! I know the LQx would have been a better foundation for power, but I didn't want a 6.0! I wanted something different ( Iron LS1 ) that not many people do. A LQ would have been easier and probably cheaper and would have made way more power, but its not what I wanted to build.
