Galaxy, so I tried the chrome bezel thing you did on my spare set and they do not have the chrome underneath. The only place there was extra chrome to reveal was at the very top. Wierd. I'm thinking about checking the ones on the van but for now it's a no go. It was interesting finding some chrome under there though.

with the smaller tires in the front i would definately drop the front of the van just a hair, i dont like uneven wheel well gaps. with a nice rake it will look really good. Just a little bit though, maybe just 1 or 1.5 inches.

I agree, thats what I'm thinking of doing. Any ideas on how Astro? I'd hate to cut the springs. My cheaper solution is to get slightly smaller rear tires. That would be easiest and would give me some room in the rear wheel wells. These tires were always rubbing and I was going to get smaller tires on there reguardless. But, I do like the rake look. Like I said, I am not sure just yet. So far I haven't rubbed the wheel wells since the change which is good and Id like to keep it that way.

Your Best bet is to get an air bag assist kit for the rear . It's not a low rider you want a good ride and shouldn't have to small a tire with the weight of that van .
If you get the kit from a truck shop they will install it cheap .
This will also help if you ever load the van with coolers and gear for long trips .

Got my aerovisors on the windows. Really shades the front nicely when your driving and cut the vent window wind noise down a lot.
