I have a dilemma and need some input. I'm not happy with the amount of the ratio of sidewall versus wheel diameter on the front to the rear. I rolled one of the 17" Mustang wheels that I couldn't use in place to do a comparison.  The tire is very close to the same height as the one on the truck. My first thought is that I need some 16's on the front, not 17's. What is your thought?

I like the way this F1 looks and sits - just right, in my humble opinion.

New wheels. It now has 17's front and back. I raised the rear 1 inch to allow some more sidewall to be seen and to facilitate removal of the tire without having to need 2 jacks in case of a flat tire. Better safe than sorry. :)  This should be a stopping point as far as wheels and tires are concerned. :) I also added blue led lights to the rest of the dash controls so everything matches the gauge panel.

Looks good like that.  Nice tire to wheel ratio.

Those look real good. The truck is a sensible, neat package. Well done!

I definitely like that truck - it's just right in my estimation.  Nice job.

Stick a fork in it , its done ! It really says something when a truck can look so right when it is done in white . All you have to go on is stance for the look . No eye searing paint to draw attention , just a nice , clean , well proportioned ride . Great job .

It's one of those that no matter where or when you see it, you just say "yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about".
