    e: Wheel/tire pics
    I have looked at postings hoping to find some pictures and specs but am not finding what I am looking for.

    I photoshopped these wheels onto my truck, while trying to come up with a look I like. Now I just need to know what size they would be in reality.

    I wonder if you all might have done something similar and could post a picture of yours and tell me what wheel and tire combinations you have. Maybe even where you purchased them?
    I'm hoping to see a few variations.

    Thanks in advance!

    The ones in your picture look perfect to me.

    Yeah, to me too. But I just made them up in photoshop.

    What real ones would look like that?

    Maybe 6x15 front (or7s?) and 8x15 rear?

    And what tire sizes would look right on the wheels?

    Yeah, that combination is pretty close.
    I sent him a private message, asking about what he put on his truck.
    Thanks

    Thanks rusty1.
    Hard to tell about the front tires at that angle but that looks pretty close to what I have in mind.
    I'm going to try to photoshop those onto mine and add color trim rings and caps to see how it would look.
    Would you know about the setback you have on those?
    Would you happen to have another photo showing the front wheels straightened out a bit?
    (Would save me a fair amount of time trying to stretch and deform to get the right angle)

    Just be aware that a disc brake kit on factory axle is wider than a drum setup, Camaro stub is wider than stock too, so someone else's backspace may not work for you.
    I have 235/75/15 on rear and I believe a 205/75/15 on front in this photo. The rear tires have about an inch on both sides in the stock wheelwell.

    Didn't know that.
    Heidts Mustang2 w/discs on the front. Stock rear (for now).
    Thanks!
