Foose wont fit?
 
Well i was thinking very seriously about getting a set of foose nitrous w/ grey centers in 20 by 8.5 front and 20 by 10 rear, but my wheel guy said they dont make 5 on 5 in the grey center to fit my truck, but do in the chrome? he said i could run the grey ones if i use shims, oh hell no! anyone else encountered this problem?

ive seen them on impalas, so i know they make them...i have chrome ones on my 68, but IIRC the grey ones were a diffrence of 200$, and i had the option of getting them...

I have the chrome Nitrous 20" on front and 22" on rear. No issues front or rear with my 71 suspension.

thats the thing my wheel guy said he could get the chrome nitrous in any bs, but the grey faced nitrous were limited on backspacing. avysittinon22s i would love to see some pics of your truck it appears to be the same direction im going w/ mine the paint and grill anyway.

I had to run a 1/4" spacer on an s10 i had because the wheels would rub the lower control arm and didnt have any problems but c10s are alot heavier though. Would also show with nitrous wheels alot also.

thanks for the pics, i will use them for inspiration to get through the body work on my 71 lwb. once i get the cab sanded down enough on mine the rest will be more like progress and not like a tear down progress, i went through enogh of that already. love your trucks look and stance though its the best ive seen, just my 2 cents.

Buy the chrome ones and have them powder coated grey.
