Up for new tires contemplating 39s

[K223]

i really like them too. especially as an alternative to the overly popular method wheels. i like methods, but they just seem to be on everyyy raptor. i would love to get a set of innov8 wheels but ill just keep dreaming there...lol

Those wheels look pretty serious!

More work on the bedsides today. Not sure what the normal way of securing the bad rail cap is but I decided a 1/8 piece of aluminum angle would do the trick. All riveted in and ready for fender washer hardware tomorrow

Today I fitted and riveted the other bedside. Filled small pinholes from the new fiberglassing of the wheel well. Sanded , primed and ready for paint!

Nice! Hit it with a coat of black primer and then flat sand until it all evenly sands off! Should be waveless.

Black? interesting even though white is going on top? i did do a grey primer/filler then a flat white primer ontop of that...

the bigger question is can you tell the rear of the wheel well has been messed with?

Was suggesting black or gray as only for a guide coat for final sanding. Nobody likes wave’s unless it’s at the beach lol

That’s actually a very good contour. Looks very factory to me. Should look great on the truck.

he saying black or grey so you can see high and low spots

spray black primer thin coat, sand it, will help you see any waves in the body work

Cool. Haven’t been in a long while. A lot of pooling this weekend. It really got hot down here and of course the usual choking humidity.
