22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

maybe thinking of going 22x8.5 in the front and 22x10 in the rear, does anybody have this out there with the 4-1/2 and 6 static drop ? any issues ?

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

There are some good examples of both static and dropped trucks in this 22's thread, many running the same specs as what you're asking about:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?

ive seen this truck in person, its not 14 wide. but if i remember right it did has a shorten rear end :chevy:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

He looks alot lower than we are?

Is it bagged or static?

If static I'm guessing a solid 5.5/7.5+

truck looks great but I wouldn't want to drive it much on those tires;)

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

static 5/7 did have c-notch, and bed was not all cut up either, wish i had taken more pictures of it.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Sell me your Intros original 71?

Would just want the wheels. ..

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Well if this is the same truck I remember looking at it had widened wheel wells!!!

the only reason iam considering 22's is because someone already made me an offer on mine so it wont be much to upgrade iam just trying to figure out specs for backspace and such first cause if i get it wrong it will be a costly mistake plus i want the deepest lip possible without cutting into the truck. however if he backs out, ill keep you in mind :)

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

I have a black GMC begging for them. .. but I have tires already. I will be buying something around the end of the month so, just waiting on the $ at this point.

If you want to PM that's cool, or .. just let me know if they're up for grabs.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Their trucks are probably at their shop most of the time. If I were you, I'd just make a trip over there to get some ideas.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

thinking the same thing, but i need to do it asap before my wife changes her mind i told her they can be my birthday present :lol:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Think so?

looks like it tucks way more than we do with our 4.5/6.5

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Awesome wheel choice Hector, I say do it before the wife changes her mind lol. Are those 24's on that truck you posted. They look like it.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

thank you, to me five stars never go out of style they just get better. if i remember right 22's all the way around but had very thin tires, there were so many trucks at that show it was hard to just pay attention to one truck. i just got off the phone with a buddy that is working on a project and he is gonna let me borrow his front 22's tonight to test fit, ill post pictures this evening. come on 5 o'clock :lol:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Nice can't wait to see some Pics

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

OR..

Let me throw you a curve ball.


Use the $$ difference you were going to spend from switching from 20s to 22s and get bags. :ito:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Hey I think I took that picture! lol I don't know the specs either. oh and it's 5 ;)

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

thats what i came up with after trying the wheels, it dosent do it for me for some reason on my truck and my wife agreed.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

ok guys here are my buddy's 22's on my truck with 4-1/2 drop up front. it did raise it of course but i dont see 22's on my truck because it has to come down again, so iam thinking bags instead with my wheels and the wife agreed, so i think iam not going that route just glad i have good friends to help me not make a $ mistake. ok the more i look at in pictures what do you guys think ?

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

What I like about our trucks is..they look good with 15's or 22's. You cant say that about all trucks :metal:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Looks good, but I like more rubber.

thats what iam scared off, these wheels arent cheap but they look good

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

22s and bags!!!

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

The 22s are sweet, but I'd agree with going lower if you had them. If you do bags now with your current setup, it'd look killer and you could swap out wheels somewhere down the line if you wanted. I think that the bigger the wheel, the lower you have to go. If I personally had plans of going with a bigger wheel down the line, I'd want to drop it first because I think the proportions still look right with a smaller wheel.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

I think it looks good but I like the idea of bagging it more than getting new rims. Your current Intro's are one of my favorite wheel designs. I say keep them and bag your truck. It will look sick with your Intros and bags. Like David said you can always sell the Intros down the line if you still want 22's. How do you want on bag it, are you going to go mild C-notch or are you planning on cutting/raising the bed floor.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

:no:

Get the 22's and sell the Pentias to ME !! :D

.. shut up Keith ! :uhm:


Me I said ! I want the 20's ! :lol:

(just playing .. really)

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Looks good!...but, some said...I like more rubber as well.
Keep two sets!!!

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

:lol: Sorry just trying to get another bagged C-10 on the forum. Those Pentias are awesome wheels, wish i had them on my truck.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

The single mod that I have gotten the most compliments on has been putting air bags on my truck and second is the new wheels. If I had to do it all over I would had started with bags right out of the gate.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Those wheels are entirely too small for a bagged truck.. just sayin. :D

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

This thread is making me re-think things over. I'm currently in the market for wheels, but just might get bagged instead.

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

leave the wheels alone....

Bag it if you have $$$ burning a hole in your pocket. I go through the same issues so I bought a tahoe instead....lol:metal::lol:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

Hector, your killin' me!!! put some 15 inch rally's on it are raise it back up, that way I can quit hiding mine! :lol::lol::lol: Now on the serious note - leave the Intro's on and bag it.:metal:

Re: 22's on a 71 static drop any out there ?
 

I'm biased since I have 22s, but I think you can't get a good reading on if it needs to be lowered or not without the rears being on. 22's on a 4.5/6 drop looks perfect if you ask me...I like how the wheel fits in the wells on that drop.

Since you said it's not a big upgrade to pick up the 22's, I'd do the 22's 1st and the start to pick up parts to bag it...22's and air bags are kind of a combo deal haha

albert stop posting pictures of that beautiful truck your gonna make me spend money :lol:
