Newbie sort of, Need help with 18 or 20 rims
Hey fellows kind of new sort of, I had a 72 Chevy short bed which was my baby. The dam think caught of fire, i had the truck repainted and just sold it. I didnt have the money or time to get it back to the way I wanted too. I have since then bought an 81 short bed for whic i HAVE big plans for. Here is a questions for yall
1 I am debating if I should go with 20's or 18's I really wanted 20's at first but i think the truck would look a lot meaner with some 18's slammed. I searched this whole forum and really couldnt find any dropped trucks with 18's Anyone have any pics for trucks with 18's on a 4/6 or lower drop? And would 295/40/18 fit the rears? I want to put the widdest tires for the rears. here are he wheels i am thinking of  Here is my current truck   here was my old truck, RIP   After the fire    Also any vette lovers out there My old c6 with 402 and blower Cheers |

Re: Newbie sort of, Need help with 18 or 20 rims
Welcome to the 73-87 forum 1badcad. Wheel size is really a matter of personal preference. What you will find common on the 73-87's is 15's or 20's. There are a few that run 17's, some 18's and a couple 18/20's. There are even a few running 22's, but 20's are the most common.
With all that said, I recommend that you compare prices of tires. I have found that 20" tires are sometimes cheaper than 18" tires because the larger tires are mass produced. You buy wheels once, but the tires might need replaced so factor that in to your decision.
