Craftsman gt18 "Buckshot"

@Rustbucket Garage now why did you have to go and show me that now I need it

I have a question would 25s look weird up front?

Not avoiding the question, but it is very subjective as everyone has a different opinion.  Real questions, Do you like it?  Can you make it work if you do? 

There is nothing wrong with big front tires, however it is in your best interest to A: Keep the frame level so the COG stays low, B: actually be able to turn them without breaking or bending steering components, and C: have them clear the frame and running boards while maintaining a turning radius that is better than the titanic.

In my experience, 21s are as big as you want to run with this width of frame.

Thanks guys i appreciate the help is there Any downsides other than steering? Also where would i be able to get a set of hubs to fit these rims and the stock spindle *IF* i use these big boys 

Just sitting higher!  :-)  You can always fluid fill the tires if your center of gravity gets too high.

I have a reputation to live up to I think I might put a 6-in lift on this thing

I think I have a problem every time I touch something it gets a lift on it

Come work on my truck.

@Ifitaintbroke oh what's that your alternator is bad a 4 inch lift would probably help Lol

Id like to see how your steering works with that lift

@RichieRichOverdrive you know I'd like to see how that's going to work too Lol. I think I'll do rack and pinion it seems like the easiest choice. Although there's no avoiding the fact that it's going to have the steering radius of the Titanic but who needs to turn anyway

That steering radius is precisely why it hit the iceberg. Good thing you're in Texas. Shouldn't have to worry about icebergs.

we do have oak trees and I've been known to get a "close look" from time to time

They probably have iceberg lettuce, thats even worse, i think I’d rather have the ice with as hot as it is outside now


Rack and pinion probably be a pretty good setup. You dont have to worry about the tires hitting the body so you should be able to make it turn pretty tight.

@RichieRichOverdrive not even going to lie if there was an iceberg in Texas right now there would be a fight about who gets to lay on it

That's kind of what I thought Tankerbell is running 25s and rack and pinion and I can turn Allright considering the wheelbase

We have more pine trees here in the "interior" than the coast where I'm from. Live oaks are dominant there. I've had a pretty close encounter with a pine tree, which may or may not explain the Ranger's green bed......

We have plenty of pine trees so many in fact that it's called the Piney Woods they just don't seem to jump out in front of me quite as bad
