Is it just me or do those 22.5s look really small on that bus? it is a beautiful bus but the wheels/tires just look dwarfed beneath it. Are the tires too low profile or something?

Dale, that is the way a 05 looks when widen but it does have the extra wide on the front like the single dual, that is the look Wayne is trying to get away from with his wide singles on all tree axles.Why would they call a 102 in wide coach a 05/20 it should be 05/15 that is a nice coach

Thats a hell of a lot of coach for the price. You couldn't come close to duplicating it for that money. Looks good.

That is a lot of coach for the money. I have one of those motors in my 05 i have 60000 mile on it and drive it all day within a couple of hundred RPM's of the govoner. Doesnot use any oil and has pretty good power. Only draw back is they smoke on cold morning untill things get warmed up. I have my heater hooked up to the motor to warm it up and help the smoking. Looks like the front axle has some wieght on it with those big tires.

Nice coach Wayne
