Good Looking truck, great color.  What wheel and tire size are you running, looks like MT's on the back. What back spacing on the rear wheels?

the rears are 15x10 with 4 inch backspace with 325/50 MT drag radials. the fronts are 15x4 with 27.5/4.5 et fronts. It works really well on the street. It has caltracs and stock springs. Rev it up, dump the clutch, and it hooks and goes! ;D
