Wheels?? Overwhelmed with info
 
I own a 87 r10. I am currently looking to put some 18" wheels on it and have been looking through this forum for some consensus. I will be lowering to match the look of the wheels. Dont want a low profile tire want something along the lines of a 255/55 on front?? and 275/60 on rear?? I guess where I run into an issue is the back spacing and best tire size for the wheels. I will be doing a staggered look and really like the american racing boulevard wheels. They offer a 18x8 with 4.5 bs and a 18x9.5 with 5.25 bs. Will these wheels fit/ look right on my truck? Any help would be great and I know wheel questions get asked alot but this is one of the most important purchases for the styling of a truck in my opinion. Thanks

First, welcome to the forum. Looking for wheels can be overwhelming, but always good to check out all option. The boulevards will work on your truck. We are an American racing dealer, so let me know if I can help you out any. We do a lot in custom wheels and know these trucks well.

Here you go. This is the exact setup you mentioned. Same backspace settings and tire sizes. Everything is the same except the rear wheels were 18x10 with 5.25" backspace. It was lowered 2.5/4.
