twas a joke erich ... twas a joke....i must say one of my favorite tires the "euro t/a" i thought they stopped making them ... but maybe only in popular sizes

I'm pretty sure they did, these are used, dry and stuff. Had to use a tube to stretch em, should usually just go on with the cheetah tank. They were 90 mounted and everything for 2.

true.... since your going for that look ... use the fake flares just slather them in fiberglass resin.....let the budlight shine on through.....maybe do a different brand beer on every corner.....i made it through two years of community college drinking natty light by the case nightly....had a beeramid and wall of cans to prove it ...never got down with deer beer....sophmore year we epxpeirmented with mickey's grenades ..... the violent illness ensued from too much....ruined me from mexican food for the better part of 3 years...everytime i smeeld a enchilada i would taste the malt liquior in my mouth and would re hash all the "fun times"

nah im actually doing full metal flares. the budlight was just a mock up, but the bed was sitting on the tire, so they will be a lil more horizontal. its will just look that much more aggressive. idk if it will be dont in time for canby. but definitly for the datsunfest and jccs

so, while ive been doing all this work on my truk myself, i noticed that i have 6 lugs on my wheels. i also noticed that each wheel had one lugnut missing, like maybe someone stole 4 of my fucking lugnuts? i looked at the other rims  got when i bought the truk and they have six holes also. i didnt realize 521s have 6 hole rims......or maybe the rims i have stashed under the kitchen table arent stock after all?

these are the ones that came on the truck and are still on it......

a barrel? really? the flare is just sheet metal. hand formed. one off.... it wont look right if you only do the rears... hence why im doing my fronts in a week or so. 12 rears with a 10 front

What size tires would you guys recommend for 16" wheels on a 620? I believe the wheels I'm looking at are 16x7 or 16x8 but I'll have to confirm in a few days.

 

Based on the tire calculator it looks like 225/50/16 would keep me almost even with the speedo spec. I'm lowered 3" BTW, want lower profile but would still like to be a little comfortable.
