Intro plus question

[Chris H.]

Hey everyone,

I live in Spokane, WA. I ordered the 35 kit a few weeks ago and have started prepping while waiting. So far, I have a 6.0 iron block LS that was built for boost but I'm going to start NA. I found a 2005 rear end at the junk yard that I plan on cleaning up. I want to go with the Tremec TKX, which I have yet to order. Currently debating wheels and that's where my question lies. I think I was to go with a staggered set up, anyone have experience with a 18x10 rear and 18x7 front?

You're biggest concern will be fitment under the fenders.... that is if you ordered them?

Welcome Chris!

I was just in your shoes, trying to figure out what would fit and what I wanted. Two of the guys I spoke with each did 19's in the front and 20's in the back. There is a post on here where the guy went with 18x10s all around, but you're asking about staggering so I'm not sure how much help that is.

I was going to go staggered but ended up finding a great deal on Facebook marketplace for some 19x8.5 wheels and tires that I really liked. I'm happy with them so far. I also have a rear end that I pulled and cleaned up. Boy was that fun!

Sorry, no fenders.

Motor is pretty much ready, injectors are on their way. Currently in the process of cleaning up the rear end and then will POR15. Still can't decide on wheels, I want them to have a nice lip to them, trying to figure out offset and backspacing. I was thinking I may go with the same size all around so i can rotate tires.

I suggest you study Paul B.'s truck build thread for a master class on how to do it. https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...od-Truck-Build Pretty much any question you have is addressed in there.

Have fun with the build!

I'm about halfway through his build, thanks! I got the rear end looking better today.

What did you pull your rearend from?

I don't remember spring perches on mine.
