Bleach Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I like those wheels Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I like those wheels I kinda like them, Im planning on getting rid of them as soon as i get some cash up for billets. I want to goto a 20 in the rear, but no one makes a hoop for a 20x7. Ill probably god 18s in the front and 19s in the rear, if not 19s all around. Quote Link to comment
RB_Shaggs Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 what wheels are they? Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 They are 18x8 Infiniti QX56 wheels. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 You work fast Dwight. I hope you dont get too busy so we can all see it on the road soon. How much for the 18's if & when they are for sale? Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Ill get rid of them for $400 shipped, plus whatever the centers cost me (i believe the blank centers are $80) Quote Link to comment
RB_Shaggs Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 where did you get the wheels cause i have been looking for 18" chrome infinity wheels Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 is that with tires? Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 That would be w/o tires, and it would only be after i get some new wheels, hopefully soon. These are brand new dealer take offs, never seen a mile on the road. I hope to get billets before i get the truck on the road, so they will still be brand new. I could let them go with tires, but the price would be $700, plus shipping. Ive got around $1000 in the wheels an tires. But remember this could be a while, i figured i speak up for someone that might have a down the road project. RB - i got the wheels from a friend of a club member in florida, i dont think hes got anymore, but i can check. I told a bunch of people on NWDE about the deal he had on them, but no one had any interest, i think he got rid of all of them on ebay. Quote Link to comment
RB_Shaggs Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 thanx i have been checking ebay but nothing on there recently Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Got some work done on my truck today. Put one of the inner fenders in, came out pretty nice. Just need to do some grinding and a little body work and they will be done. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Those just trailer fenders Dwight? Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yep, they have a nice shape and they are cheap ($20 a piece). Plus they are good and strong so they add back some structure that was removed. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Nice work Dwight! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I love the fact you could drive in the rain if you wanted. I love seeing fab work. I almost got a tattoo of an angle grinder because of it. Quote Link to comment

I almost got a tattoo of an angle grinder because of it. This truck will be driven in the rain all the time, its going to be my daily once its finished. The tubs help keep the engine bay so much cleaner. My buddy has a tattoo of a sawzall on his back, its pretty cool. Thanks for all the compliments guys!!!! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Its me again :D well I have some more questions for you..... 1. What size tires are you running? I was want to know the smallest tires that will fit on the qx56/armada rim. I have 225 40 18 and 225 45 18 in the rear. 2. What color are you going to paint it? 3. Have you sourced a windshield?

Have you sourced a windshield? 1. 215/35/18, at 24 inches tall its very close to stock height. It is kind of stretched on the rim though, but i needed the clearance to clear the bedsides 2. Kandy green on top, and black on the bottom 2 tone, with some kind of graphic separating the 2 colors 3. I got one from pilkington classics a while back. Kinda pricey at $325, but well worth it. Now i just need the rubber Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 So how much room at full drop do you have between the bed sides and the tire? Could the bed go down another couple inches? Lets say if there where no rockers? O and how much room inbetween the frame and wheels? Quote Link to comment
