To my educated eye these look like 17x12s I think, based on all the welds I've seen. I'd like to see a tape measure in the lip and the backspacing before I gave him that ridiculous amount for those wheels

My plan was if he accepted my offer to break one down on my tire machine and check it out and if they wasent 14s bead it back up for him and not buy them lol
 
:lol: mine was just 2.5 days. But mostly because I was trying to paint in a 50° garage while it's 30° outside. Gasing myself out because dnw all the cold air in there fuking with it. Plus every aspect of the brake job I had to do 2 or 3 times :ayfkm: :assmaster:

There was quite a bit of all this too. Waiting for paint to dry in 30* and having to do things a few times.

didn't know this was a pissing match but if I was ONLY replacing pads and rotors and not painting anything or fucking with calipers or anything else, I could do all 4 in maybe 30-40 minutes.

By that time you'll be able to buy used sets of forces for under $800 cuz everyone will want 3D printed rymz. :trolldance2:

You can find 20x10s pretty reasonably priced. It's the 20x12 cheyennes and dunes that people want astronomical prices for
 
I just want some welds that are 16 or bigger.

if they decide to make claws for a 20" wheel again, I will be upgrading wheels
 
thanks guys. I need to crawl under the truck and see if the hard lines are in ok shape or if I should go ahead and replace them as well.

also, has anyone here used the russell speed bleeders? might order some
 
HB isn't gonna help if its pulling.

I assumed you bled the brakes?

make sure your rotors are the same thickness, if one rotor is thicker then the other, it will pull.
 
I know hb wont help the pulling, it's just something I want to do because I hate the vacuum booster. Seems like I have to push the pedal 1/2 way to get a response but my old 2500 had hb and it would start dlowing down as soon as you pusged the pedal.

Yes I bled the brakes. Not sure why the rotors wouldn't be the same thickness, although it did cross my mind to put the stock rotors on and see if it still pulls.

I'm down to the hoses now because it's possible that the rf caliper may have fallen and hung by the hose which could have stretched it out, causeing an issue with pressure.
 
It's about to give me a stroke.

Brodude with the wrecked truck wanted 450 for the booster, pedal, and the 3 hoses. Lmao I can get it all new for near that.
