Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!

I added 20x11s to the Blazer and then bought the 59 with a set of 20x8s in the front and 20x11s in the rear for a full house of Detroit Steels now...

Awesome! What size, back space, etc. are the rear rims, and what size tires are you going to run?

The rears are 15 X 8 (4” B/S) and I’m going to be running a 275/60 R15 and the fronts are factory 15 X 6’s (whatever factory backspacing is) with a 215/75 R15 tire. I had this same setup with on my ‘69 shop truck, but I’m going to play with spacers on this truck and try to widen the wheel track a little bit.

Here was that same setup on my shop truck without the spacers. I’m planning on my ‘72 lower than that truck is though.

That is the perfect execution of a crew cab right there! Some look awkward and a little off, but that one is perfect! :metal:

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!

Best crew cab I've seen and it's not even finished yet. The lift and tire size/width are perfect! Can't wait to see what it looks like when done. Subscribed to your build. :)

On that truck, they were CUCV Military Blazer 6 lug wheels.

Thanks I appreciate it. Only had it a month, still getting used to old school driving! By the way, how are you putting the picture in like that. The imgur links annoy me lol.

What brand wheels are these and how did you attach the center caps? Thanks.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!

Stock wheels, 215/75/15 front, 235/75/15 rear...I like the “rubber rake”, but wish I would have went one size larger on the front...
