Shop truck got some new shoes

[Hemi450hp]

I have been trying to get some datalogs for Hemifever on my tuning, but its impossible to get traction below 50mph with the stock aluminum 17's and narrow tires...So today I slapped on some new black 20x9 wheels with Nitto 420S 305/50/20 rear and 285/50/20 Front tires. I am usually not a fan of black wheels, but I'm really happy with how well these tie into the overall theme of the truck. I haven't had a chance to test the traction on the street yet, but if anything, the heavier weight alone should make it a bit easier to launch. What do you guys think?

Those are awesome!

Looks great Matt!

I think it looks great! Do you think that the added traction from the tires will compensate for the added weight from the new set up?

Wow. I didn't realize who it was until I saw the pics. Looks sweet! Hard to imagine its the same truck as before.

Looks great!!! Had the Nitto 420s on last ride and loved them.

Looks good. What wheels are those?

 

[Hemi450hp]

Thanks guys. Lowering kit is a Belltech kit that I cut the coils down to about a 3/4.5" drop. Running Spohn adjustable control arms and trac bar, Hellwig rear swaybar, and QA1 shocks on all 4 corners.

Wheels are Black Rhino Everest 20x9's.

Looks great. But what happened to the skinnies and slicks?

 

[blazenlo]

I think its looking badass!

Matt, what's the offset on your rims? I think it's perfect with those Nitto tires. Is the 305 the biggest rear you could fit?

 

[popcenator]

Looking good.

on the move..

 

[MADDOG]

I like the new look, Matt!

 

[Awastatyme]

Good looking setup you have there.
Is this the same truck that will get the viper hood?

Hi Matt,
Looks nice! Know any pin-stripers? Get them to do a thin blue stripe around the bead ring on the rims and they will look super sweet.

Thanks Ken. The wheels are 20x9 with a +20mm offset. This is the widest tire I can fit in this diameter. There are a few wider tires, but they are either 28" tall or 35" tall. I couldn't find a tire in between. I would love to widen these wheels to 11" in the back and put a little more rubber under the back, but I struck out when it came to the tires.

Yes sir. I will have the hood on this weekend.
