  1. ^ well you cant run 295's or 305 on a 8.5" wheel... ok lets face it iv heard worse stores then a 295/20' running a bit of a skinny rims, its shouldnt be done, and really shouldnt be done on a pickup truck due to the more weight being added to increase the poping of the wheel. again i want to run a 20x10 rim and the rockstarts have been a high time favorite of mine for a everylong time. and since im not going to be running rockstars on my diesel (due to a 10lug convertion) only makes sense when i switch tires to run rockstars. thats to kelleyperformance saying itll fit
  2. actually not many rockstars are running around anymore, due to the fact everyone was runnign them. so almost everyone started to get rid of the,. i love the big huge 5 spoke plus you can take away the center caps and they look a bit different. i really wanted a pair of like 6 spoke drifter style rims cuz i think they look clean (i have a pic of a silverado with a pair on) and it gives a bit of a weird look cuz no one has really big thick 6 spokes
  3. im not asking what wheels or tires i should run, only asking if the tires size, and rims spec fit in a 3/4 lowered SSS. anyone running a simulor lower with a tire this wide with a rim spec this close? im not putting a 295 on a 8.5" rims. im getting a 20x10 rim. that is the recomended size, hell the 20x12 rockstars are cheap, but its to wide for the 295 (i hate lips showing) and im sure i couldnt fit it in there without a lot of trouble.
  4. im want to get new rims and tires for my SS. want to run 295/45/20 (bfg g-Force T/A KDW 2) i know 305, yall say they dont rub and i like the g-force alot so the wheel specs are Size: 20x10 Offset: -24mm Backspacing: 4.52" Bolt Pattern: 6-139 Rec. Tire Size: 305/55-20 Weight: 39.2lbs. i saw the stock wheels are 22 or 21 i cant remember off my head but i dont know the back spacing with a 3/4 drop i want to put on soon will these wheels clear? with this offset and backspacing?
  5. i used cru soogm -15 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_249SOOGM15/CRUX-SOOGM-15-GM-Factory-Integration-Adapter.html?showAll=N&search=CRUX_SOOGM-15_GM_Factory_Integration_Adapter&skipvs=T
  6. let me get the name of it. friends borrowing the truck for the night so i cant look at what it is
  7. a stupid question that was brought up that idk if it matters or not. got the truck originally had a double din in it. guy took it out and took a stock one out of a trail blazer he just got. well the stock one was locked so i never got it unlocked due to im in germany, now this doesnt matter does it??? i dont need to unlock it (i figure i dont but.....)
  8. its crux one crutchfield said to use. i woudl have to find the box to tell you witch on exactly but we switch it to pioneer if that what you ment
  9. finally figured out how to get this radio wired up. but no sound. while fidilling with it some more, for like 2 seconds the sound came on when volume was at full blast, we both were like WTF. and it happened again while fidilling aroudn again?? has anyone came across from this. we had to cut the pink/black wire and splice it into the dark blue wire on my harness to make an acc that isnt installed on this truck. i have a 05 with onstar/bose
  10. hahah uhh wow how come no one has even though about running this kit? http://www.bankspower.com/twin-turbo-products.cfm im looking to see if i can get those banks exhaust manifolds now. i know this is for a carbed set up but if i can get just the exhaust manifolds i dont have to go 100% custome
  11. dont know much about the big block vs small but are the headers the same?? i was going ot get obx headers for my build but i cant find the ones they use to make for the ls style ones. they were same as the ones im posting but were under 500... these are over 500 and made for big blocks http://www.racingpartdepot.com/servlet/the-4954/OBX-Chevy-Big-Block/Detail im trying to do a twin turbo upfront and high so i can run the down pipes down and under the heads and out the back

    3.42?? yeah the ss is 410... i really want to lower my gearing, since im in germany i want 3.75 maybe lower if possible. again i cruise at highspeeds. heck i only do 80 cuz 90+ is 8mpg while 80 is around 14 or so. i have a hard time hand jamming my number since my fuel comes out in liters not gallons :rolls eyes: but yeah im looking at a tuner, and possible going to get new gears for this baby, almost all highway and even the back roads are 60mph legal form town to town so unless im in town i never do less then 60mph never
  13. agreed with why tow with these. unless its ones in a blue moon. you can pick up older 7.3 ford diesels so cheap. that will town anything (passing 26000lbs total weight you need a cdl) im a diesel guy for DD truck, better mpg, better for towing, better mpg by far when towing, there frames are built to tow heavy loads, unlike a half tune. i belive the main thing is limited to 7000lbs is due to the hitch and brakes. even then i wouldnt put 15000lbs on the frame, its just not engineered to do it, just cuz you can doesnt mean you should when it comes towing limitation.
  14. you ever try and park a ss into a parking spot thats only as big as a wagen? i mean talk about tight even on post i can back into a spot and if i put my wheel into the curb i can actually back the bumper up to the car front bumper parked behind the truck when theres a grass median between the 2!!! its super small here in germany, i cant park this truck into a parking garge cuz you cant make the turns. i only want towing mirros cuz they stick out a bit more allowing me to see my bumpers. now im only here for 5 months now and its offical so im going to suck it up for 5months and ill just get my parkign tickets, pay it and move on with life lol
