    Here is an update. I'm getting another set of wheels - tires for the truck today. This will be my fifth set.

    I'm notsure what vq it is, but ill get more info on it later. Its got a spun bearing so it needs a rebuild. Ideally I want to supercharge it too.

    I cleaned the truck off today. Damnable it got very dirty just sitting there. About to mount the radiator finally.

    so i decided to blow the dust off of my truck and give it a little attention. Got the upper 2 radiator rubber mounts tacked into place. Looks like ill have enough room for a decent sized intercooler and a crach bar behind the bumper.

    don't know why, but in the UK we haven't got the choice of 6 stud fitment you guys in the US do, definatly nothing in 17" :( which is why I've ended up running a set of 15" steelies on mine!

    Most of my wheels are just stock wheels off of other vehicles. The newest ones are special edition toyota 4runner wheels. My 17"s are the stock wheels on a nissan titan offroad edition pickup truck. Lots of chevrolet truck wheels fit too including some 20" alloys. Not that I would ever go that big. Aftermarket 6 lug wheels are very hard to find second hand, so I try to stick with stock wheels. So far ive got 2 sets of 14"s, 2 sets of 15"s, and a set of 17"s. I'm probably going to get a set of hummer H2 wheels sometime sincethey are 16". Then I can run a lot ofdifferent sized used rubber.
