Good Looking Crew :D Welcome Aboard :wave:

What kind of back spacing do those wheels have? They look like they stick out a lot?

Thanks for editing the pics.
Thanks guys for the compliments.Yea,I need the rear spacers.I've had the truck for about 2 1/2 months now.It was plain stock when I got it.
About the wheel spacing,the backspacing is 3 1/2" and they do stick out some.Thats why I'm still running the factory tires and I do have rubbing issues for now.I plan on adjusting the t-bars more,adding rear shackles , wheel spacers on the rear,and possibly a 2" BL.If I have enough clearance after all that I'll go bigger on the tires and more aggressive tread pattern.

Looks "Bad A** in Black" Just one thing, and I know jeff024 will disagree but with all that Black and Chrome looking so nice, IMHO you should turn the white wall tires in! :wink:

Better yet, get rid of the stock tires the first chance you can justify AND afford it :thumb:

Black looks great when there cleaned up but they are also harder to take care of and keep looking good for a long time

Yep that's true! During the summer time, I wash my truck 2 or more times a week... During the winter, I go to the power wash weekly too keep the salt, snow, ice, and whatever else is on the roads in Cleveland off of my truck. It is definately easier to keep a pewter color truck looking cleaner. But it's always so nice to see a black truck all washed and waxed!

I agree on having to clean alot.But, I detail cars on the side and have the inside track on that one.

Today I removed the bowtieS10 badges from the doors and tailgate.I also removed the word chevrolet from my tailgate too.It really cleaned up the look alot.I have more plans but it takes time and $$$ for most of them.
