    Hey guys! First post on this forum. Been a member of yotatech for a few years now. I've had my 88 4x4 for a while and I've been rebuilding the engine. So I picked up a 2wd as my daily. I want this truck to be my street truck and my 88 to be the off road rig. Eventually the 2wd is getting a 1uz but for now I want to get everything else the way I want it.

    So I'm planning on doing a Beltech lowering spindle kit and getting some new tires and brakes first. Some body mods like flares for starters. I don't want to slam the truck but a little lower will be good.

    Just wanted to get some input on wheels and tires and flares that you guys might suggest.

    The flares often used are *anything 4x4 will fit: 4wd fenders, 4wd bedsides, and or aftermarket flares made for 4x4s.

    Wheels, if ur not going low can be anything really..whatever suits your fancy.

    15x8 +/-0 offset or maybe with 4wd fenders -13
