These are mine. 17x8s all around 4.5 " backspace. G60s in back and 225x50s in front. Will settle down a bit when I add the wood bed and the hood.

Wheels don’t usually look good with drums showing through but you’re look good

What size are the G60 tires on the rear?

You can actually buy metal plates to mount between the wheel and the drum/disc. They'll block brake dust too.

Backed into the driveway and just thought the down the side view would look good.

Nice perspective.

I also kinda like the taillights without the bezels.

I just went through every post in this thread. Some really nice looking trucks and wheel options are insane.https://i.imgur.com/GeUqFG9.gif Thought the thread could use a bump. Surely some new trucks or wheel changes have happened.

My brother and I decided the only wheels we remembered ever seeing on our dads truck growing up was these. So when we inherited it it was the obvious choice for us. The memories we have seeing them turning on the street were good ones knowing dad was home.

Currently its the US MAGS INDY 15x7 up front and 15x9s out back. I just ordered the 15x5s and have my eyes open for a reasonable set of 15x12s for the rear.

I have always liked those but they have such odd backspacing that I am worried they will not fit properly on my truck

This is one thing I am correcting on my rear. Im narrowing a 9” to go in mine so as soon as I get my rear wheels I can start calculating to get the correct placement. Im not a fan of how they set in on the rear currently.

18x7.5" Jeep Grand Cherokee steelies, something like 6" back spacing. No spacers.

NOTE: this is on 73-87 crossmember, modified a-arms, 88-98 spindles, and non-narrowed Ford 9" with 5x5 axles. With this setup, the actual "track width" is the same as what was factory.

245/45R18. No spacers. BUT - this is a very unusual setup.

From my LostMy65 thread. I still have the 8x15's on. Maybe eventually I'll go with a tire profile a little taller than my 295/50-R15

They are 10" wide with 295/50-R15 all the way around.
When I mocked up the Drop Spindles with Discs, I noticed it was going to move my wheels out almost 1/2 per side. So I've been keeping my eyes out for the same wheel at 8" wide. I'll do the 8"s in the front and the 10"s in the rear.
Set them up so I can keep this look.

.
After watching the ads for over a year, I finally found the same wheels in 8".
They came with 31x10.5-R15's so I thought I'd mount them up just for kicks. Not my taste.

.

The 295/50-R15's are about 26 inches tall. So maybe an extra inch of profile -28's.. That would be 1-1/2 inch less in profile from the 31's on there now.

Stock wheels, black round tires. I have always run custom wheels. Some how I find this refreshing.

Thank you for posting this. I've been scouring this thread and this seems like the perfect combo for me.
