Lettin Someone Touch my Truck!

Greg, I think the time it took was good given all the work and parts that were replaced.
The Guy has 18 years doing them.

The Truck seems to roll better now and no vibrations prolly due to new halfshafts and all new Timiken bearings. the Truck has 234 K Kilometers Mileage (146 K Miles) so I am happy in the improved Ride!

As for the Tires we'll see. I am throwing around a few Ideas and may keep the same height (32.6) and get another set of pro-comps in the 305 aspec width as I know they will fit and maybe just go with my unique blue rims.

Have fun with them, the 500 mile break in period was such a pain in the ass to wait for..... but it was so worth it in the end

I was looking at those tires the other day at WalMart...I like those.

Danny,
That's a good looking tire/rim. That is a real street sleeper!

Adam Those are Duratracs at $298.99 ea up here but I got 100 Bucks off for buyin 4 of them, unfortunately a bit too high end for Walmart Canada anyways! LOL.

Greg, Its an OEM steel Rim Colour matched with Center Caps from my Chrome Factorys and some 17" Rings I ordered from the US. Only thing is you can't show off your Brakes.LOL.

I didn't use clearcoat on the first try but if I use these rims again will do a better paint job including Clear.

you know what I was mistaken...the one I looked at were the Goodyear Wrangler Authority...but damn they look very similar to that tire you have there:

Car Tires by Make, Model, and Size - Walmart.com

Hey No Probs, was just commenting really on how our Walmart sucks compared to you guys! Prolly cause they gotta pay em 12 bucks an hour to start!

 

[adamwilkes14]

How do the Duratracs ride? IMO most Goodyear tires ride like bricks...

 

[03MopaRamman]

Smooth, Quiet, Best on ICE and snow. Got the Canadian Snowflake extreme winter condition stamp, yet are a year round Tire. I can't say enough about them but would like another more aggressive set for the nicer weather. I had Pro-Comps but they sucked in the Winter.

Danny,
I have always liked OEM wheels on modified rides. I can't really explain it but they make a statement when aftermarket rims often fail to. And on the Ram even with all the rims available IMO, the OEM fits the best. Just looking at the OEM BS and OS you can tell aftermarket fitment will always be a problem. I would really like to have a set of Nightrunner black chrome rims with the two rears widen out to 11 inches.

That tire there is pretty beefy, but as a 20 it should be! Not Sure what you mean by Nightrunner rims, same as you got but painted black?

Yes, the rim is the same but, they are a black chrome. Rocket has the Nightrunner rims on his ride. In pictures they have a dark chrome look. I don't want the rim sticking out any further than it does, I'll have the inside widen anothe inch or two. Did it on a old chevy deuce using rally rims, IMO they looked really good.
