After long thoughts and changing my mind about 1000 times I have decided to take the "street truck" option for my 04 mounty.. So here are the plans.

1. Get rid of the UGLY god awful two-tone on the lower door panels and bumpers. Going to have them painted all the body color (which is that reddish/maroon color).. these trucks looks soo much cleaner in one color IMO or course!

opposed to: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=red+...tart=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0&tx=77&ty=90

2. 22" TIS 10s OR Moz "Dinner Rolls" (lol wth's up with the name, dont know! but its a good lookin wheel) - for some reason it wont let me attach the pictures so I just put a ebay link to both below.

3.lowering with King Springs - which I have a question about.. with the 22s and the drop from the springs what is the nicest looking tire size that will fill the wheel well... dont like the look of a rubber band tire and a huge gap in the wheel well.

TIS 10: http://www.ebay.com/itm/22-TIS-10-S...pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

these two wheel selections airnt set in stone but those are the two styles I am going for.

**sorry for the long ass hyper link.. if i could use attachments it wouldnt be so obnoxious lol
 






i say the dinner rolls with 2.25"/1.75" btf spacers and 305/40r22's still a street truck just lifted with more sidewall on the tires lol
