The BFG's look so great but the cooper cobras are about $300 less. What is your wheel and tire size combo,if you don't mind sharing.


Thank You! I am changing control arm bushings using stock rubber, urathane looks cool but tends to squeek. Tire combo is 15 x 8 with 245/60 and 15 x 10 with 295/50.

Update, I have been cleaning and painting parts, waiting on Rock Auto to re-send the correct parts, I told them to stick it and will never do business with them again. Anyway here are some more pictures. Of course that is Chevy Orange paint.

Looks really nice! Did you use POR15 on the calipers and rotors first?
