Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

Here's a pic with my new tires - Toyo Open Country M/T's 285/75/R16 (33x10.5x16) What a difference tires make! Here's the link for my original pics http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=216982

Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

I LOVE those wheels!! :metal: Where'd you get them from & how much were they?

Thanks,
Buddy

I got the wheels used from a friend. They're Progressive Wheels, 16x8. I think Progressive may have gone out of buisness.:( . Check your favorite wheel dealer, maybe they have some left over stock. Or try evil bay. Sorry I can't be more help.

How do they ride?

Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

It still rides rough, they are a 10 ply tire, but it's not any worse than the old BFG All Terrains I used to run. They are surprisingly quiet for a mud tire though.

Looks good - I really like those rims also!

Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

Nice looking ride..

Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

Dang! :whine: I really like the look of the slots, but the ones I REALLY want are Stupid Expensive!! Yes, the price deserves capital letters. :lol: Check here. However, when I checked the price on them last year they were around 450.00/each. Apparently they are trying to get rid of them. :hmm:

It's the forging that costs so much. Incredibly strong, but rediculously light. :c2: The best of both worlds, but you gotta pay to play. If you've ever picked up a "baja" type OE wheel from a Super-Duty you know what I'm talking about. Way, WAY lighter than you think!! I think they are awesome, but I just can't justify that kind of money unless I suddenly become independently wealthy.

On that note, buy all the AAPL stock you can get you're hands on. :c2:

Later,
Buddy

Hey Chris, nice looking K5. How much lift does it have?

Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

It's tough to find a nice wheel for these old Blazer's sometimes....that's not too gawdy! Those look great!

Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

Thanks Dan, The K5 is all stock suspension. Original springs up front and stock replacements out back. The 14 bolt lifts it about 1/2" out back because of the larger axle tube size. 3" for the stock 12 bolt vs. 3 1/2" for the 14bff.

Those 285/75/R16s fill out the wheel wells nicely. Any issues with rubbing?

Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"
 

Th fronts rub a little, you can see where I trimmed the front of the fender. The weird part is it only rubbed on the passenger side. If I did any serious wheeling, I'd probably have to trim more.
