How wide are those stock wheels ?

I have a set on my 83 that are 5 and a half inches wide, a bit narrow for 31's. Are yours 6"?

Day it came home.It had a full size utility bed on it that I traded for a stock bed.

They are 6 lug 31x9.5. I like the narrow tires, and might go to a 33x9.5 when I finish my suspension. These ones are hammered and came with the truck. I made a deal for 50 bucks off the truck if I took these tires and rims instead of the better that were origionally on the truck.

I have just spent maybe the last two hours trying to find the before picture of my 85 toy but i can not find the dang thing at all. So here is the hood-scoop that goes into my air-filter,


The Hood-scoop was a light blue before i sanded it down and shaker-can painted it red and then took 6 days to put 12 coats of clear coat. Witch is only now starting to peal off after 2 years.

The truck at a distance,


and a close up of the stack that I put in also.

LOL, Naw I was born up Leadville, Colorado . . . . wait that is it all that lead must be getting to me now! Well that will explain a few things. LOL But all in all I think it sounds nice I just need to get a Flow Master muffler on it to top it off. But first i need to find out why the dang thing is knocking and get it fixed before I go out on the trails once more.

Yes they are bias tires 34/10.50/15 !! I don't Reccomend them for the street . I have two that won't balance out no matter who tries to balance them. I also can't really say how they wear on the street because %95 of my driving with them has been off road . I actually just drove up to Tahoe from the bay area and they are ok on the highway as long as you find that speed that they like so they can settle down and not vibrate so much . they do hum along pretty loud at highway speeds also . offroad I give them a ten off road I give them a 5 .. I hope this helps

I had the same tires on my 94 and they made so much noise I could barely have a conversation in the truck. It sounded like an airplane was following me everywhere. Nobody wanted to balance mine, I had to call every shop in town. I really liked them anyway, but I would get another set of rims and swap them out for off roading this time.

Haha funny you asked that. The seats are from an 04 tahoe its the 3rd seat that goes in the back. My dad and i went on a fishing trip and someone stripped the complete interior from an 04 tahoe and just left it in a wash in the desert. My mom has an 04 suburban that was the same color so we picked all the pieces up for spare parts.But i talked my dad into giving me the seat lol.we stripped all the latches off and made it perfectly flat i bolted it in 4 different spots its an awesome seat and theres still lots of leg room surprisingly. yah the top needs refinished i bought all te supplies just too busy to do it. Arizona sun kills the paint jobs!!!!!

I know ive already posted pics of my truck on here, but could somebody tell me what kind of wheels I have? I made a topic in the wheels and tires section but cant really get any answers there. I like the looks of these wheels and i'd like to know who makes em and what they are called.
