How much power do you have dude???

Where do you get your information? Why do the fronts have to be a 7??? Why?

Do you have rims already or are you buying some?

If you’re buying some, just get some 7.5’s or 8’s.

An 8 inch with a 225 in the front and and 9 or a 9.5 in the rear with a 245 or a 255.
