Think im going with 22s
 

My summit wish list has the following.

4 - 22x9.5 5x5/5.50 wheels with 5.80 backspacing.
4- 295/30r22 nitto tires

My 1972 chevy custom deluxe lwb is currently at stock stance with 15 inch rims. 1. Will these wheels bolt right up and the truck be drive able? I can take fender wells out if need be.
2. Will i need to get an alignment after mounting the wheels?

Here is a link to a longbed like mine on 22x9s with 295/30 tires.

Can anyone shed some light ror me please?

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

Im thinking of same sized tires all around so the can be properly rotated down the line. Im still deciding what wheel style. I read on a 72 its best to have 4.5 bs in front and 5 in the rear. But i believe that was for 20" rims.

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

These are all on 22s

Do 20 and 22 looks better.

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

I like that look too jake :)

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

What tire sizes would be good for the factory stance? If i do 20x8.5 up front and 22x10 in the back?

Re: Think im going with 22s

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

I just upped mine from 16.5s to 17s, so I'm big pimpin' now!

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

Nice clean truck dave!!! I might go with 20s. In the front 22s in back or all 20s. Your truck is in waay better condition than mine! Ive had my truck close to 10 yrs. i always thought if i had new shiny wheels it would look good the way it is ratty in all lol. It goes with new wheels on any ride ;) big pimpin indeed.

I like the eagle alloys. Summit has the right sizes available. If i were to run 20x10s in the rear with 5.5 backspacing and 295/40r20 tires. Then 20x8.5 in the front with 4.5 bs and 255/40r20 tires how would that look?

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

Them not making a 22 makes me think i should go hoss

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

Here's a 20/22 combo......with a 4.5/6 drop. :chevy:

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

I have always loved the H2s on our trucks. What size tire you running? Are those chrome or alloy?

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

Nice pic c10 king! I would love that exact setup! What sized tires u think those are and can i wait on dropping it? Ty very much! I think im going 22 and 20s ;)

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

This link is helpful. The guy lists more info. So 20/22 combo wheels with 4 5/6 drop

All i need is a brand of wheel i like from summit. The tires in the first post ont he link above are. 255/40 and 265/40. The blue truck guy says 40 series in front and 35 in the back.

Re: Think im going with 22s

Wow! Nice truck Andy!!! The motor is very unique judging by your specs! Fiero computer on a camaro efi motor! Dude! Im a bit jello lol. Im not much for grey wheels but I really like them on yours ;) your bed cover is tits! Whered u get it at? I like how you put all the info on that pic of your ride! Great job mayn!

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

Thanks man!
The bed cover is solid fiberglass that the back half opens up. My 42 gallon Surburban tank is in the front half of the bed. It's called a USA truck cover Hwy 21 out of Rockhill SC.
Yea when I did the TPI swap the only company doing them was Street & Performance in Ark. This was their cheap wiring mod but it has worked for me since 1989. After Christmas I have a 2003 6.0 LSx going in it.
The picture I did in paint on my computer.;):chevy:

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

What wheels are those?

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

Thats cool! Thanx for all the info! That 6.0 sounds sweet! Keep up the killer work!

Im really digging the foose nitrous series wheel. I dont think they have 22x10 though. Im going to email them and see about what they can do ;)im still undecided lol. Its so hard to find the right look for me.

Re: Think im going with 22s
 

It would be nice to run the same size wheels so i can rotate my tires, but the 22/20 combo looks so tough!
