Father's day present showed up

Well my wife and kiddo dun good for father day this year. I guess my wife snopped thru my phone and saw I was looking for some new wheels. I work nights and sleep most of the day. So the her and the kiddo went and ordered some new wheels for the truck. They came in today. So I woke up to new wheels. Now she's wanting a lift and bigger tires.

On a side note is there a tire size that fits on a stock suspension that doesn't looked retarded after she's lifted? On a 16 inch Wheel? Slightly rubbing is ok while stock as I don't see me getting in the dirt much in the next few months?

Anyway....pics....

 

You sir, are a lucky man

 

Snooped thru your phone....

Other than that, glad you got some new shoes......

 

What's the story on the Hurst Cutlass?

 

265/75 r16. As long as you do not go huge on the lift 1.5" or so, these should work both stock and after the lift. This is what I am doing.

 

Nice wheels.
Nicer wife,

 

Lol. That's my baby girl. Was my 1st car when I was a kid. My dad and I built it. I was forced to sell her about 14 years ago due to Work (military flying crew chief). I recently got the chance to get her back. So we drove up to Ohio and drug her home.
She's a work in progress


And the woman who has put up with my crap and automotive addictions for 12 years.

 

That is nice looking...the car...I meant the car...

 

Nice choice of wheels. I think the machined wheels look better on the darker color trucks, to me the detail of the black wheels gets lost on darker colors. Mine:

Btw does the wifey poo have an identical twin with a penchant for older bald (by choice) guys? I have a long list of toys waiting to be fulfilled. Kidding aside, sounds like you hit the lottery with her. Treat her good.

 

Your car and wife are beautiful.. both keepers for sure...!!!!

 

Nice truck, nice car, nice wife. But the big question is does your Wife have a Sister? JK that Cutlass is a Sick ride.

 

Yep, gotta love old cars and big bumpers.

 

Congrats! Cheers to great wives!

 

What is this unicorn you speak of?

 

Lol, they're out there but not everywhere and definetely not common. Maybe more like a Blue Marlin than a Unicorn

 

She does, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.lol. thanks on the cutlass. She's in pretty good shape, but needs some tlc. When I sold it the guy did a LOT of suspension, bushing, rattle work on her. But neglected other parts. My wife HATES that car though. I find the humor in it. She tells me I'm "to white to own it" lol.

I can say we have had some ups and downs in our time together, but she's a good girl when it comes to cars and toys. She's never asked me to sell any of them. Threatened with divorce if I do sell some of them. Has made me take off work to buy a shelby and told me not to come home until I did buy one.

 

OP next time she say's you are to white to own it. Show her a Kid Rock / Uncle Kracker video they are pretty fond of a Cutlass too. My Wife hates my Jeep.

 

She's just not a fan of old cars in general. Unless it's a 69 Chevelle. Although we have a 66 pontiac ventura on the farm she says she likes. She just doesn't like the white/gold combo.

 

What lift/tiresent do you have? I've been tossing around going back with some nitto trails, but they are a heavy aggressive tire. I love the blue. Looks great.
