I wouldn't mind an extra cap.

If there are a lot, two would be great.

Me as well, maybe even two depending on price.

Sounds good Kurt.

If there are not that many, I'd be very happy with just one.

Great looking ride, 96Fleetwood. Was wondering where you came up with the Cadillac center inserts and if a guy can find them in the Buick logo? Thanks.

 

[Guest]

Caps are $45 each, plus freight (not much.) CALLLLLLLLLL me if you want one, I'm ordering 6 extra caps besides the 4 I need to replace the 4 ups damaged

I think I'll start an OZ gallery in the wheel section

thx fellas. my heads been a whirlwind of tiresizes, should i do fatties in the rear and so on. Now that you bastidges posted a pic of chrome OZ's I'm even more disparate.

 

[Guest]

If I dont wanna take my fifth wheel out of the box, what can I use for a spare wheel?

 

[Guest]

You could dig around on e-bay for a cheap, single 18 inch wheel that someone doesn't want. Heck, if you play with the tire sizes, you could keep a 15 inch spare.
if all you need a spare for is to get you home, it could be anything, really. Keep that 5th wheel in the box.


in other news, I do have the spare caps in. PM or call if you want one.

 

[Guest]

So I'm back to deciding on a tire combo.
I am really thinking staggered, looks like pirelli has a combo that's pert-near close to stock diameter. check it
pirelli rosso specs

275/45r18 rear 27.8" diameter, and 245/50r18 front a 27.7" diameter. What do guys think ?

I'm planning a big, stiff drop, so a beefy profile will help soak up the road. Gotta have the narrow tire up front, I rode impy rims w 255/50r17 potenzas and I had to fight every road groove. No fun on long trips.

Anyway, ya think its too much profile for an 18 ???

edit: furthermore, I'd like to do a big brake kit, which would make a stock spare useless. So 'I am thinking' (lol, I'm dangerous sometimes

) of yanking the spare and installing a small compressor dedicated to helper bags AND to do any roadside tire repair.

Sure, if I have sidewall damage I'm srewed. but normally its just a nail which we all know is a pretty easy fix if ya have a tire repair kit onboard.

once again, all opinions are appreciated.
