burban clips and 15x10 rallies anyone??

[texasfunk]

i,ve been thinking about putting the clip in my garage on my truck, but im unsure of the look, i was wondering if i could get some pics of short beds with the burban clip, and i want to put 15x10s, first ?is whats the biggest tire i could put on this rim and it fit on my truck, and ?2 is whats a better backspace, 4.5" or can i run the 5" and them not rub? thanx in advance everyone!

Can't help you with the rallys, but:

I am kind of there as well. I want use 15x10 Rally's w M/T stickies + a tread width of 10", sidewalls are somewhat wider but not much. I just need to know what offset to buy.
A 10" tread width tire calls for a 8" to 10" rim. I know guys who slap on 275-60-15's on 15x7's ,but it NOT recommended and sidewall damage will result after a short time.

I would say go for the burban grill. Especially if you already have one. If you don't let me know I'm going to start looking for one for my truck.

On my old truck I had 275/60's on my 15x10's

anyone ever put the more modern chevy headlights and markers on one of these grills?

[BGRAFX]

do the 88-98 one piece rectangle headlights directly replace the 2 top lights on the 91 suburban?

[bigbadjohn84]

they will with some modification. I think the aftermarket replacements with the retrofit to newer style bulbs look better. gives you the better lighting with the stock look

I have seen or heard of the suburban grille swap several times now lately. Might seem like a dumb question. But why? Won't a PU grille work as well?

if it's out of the one ton yes. but the burbans were made into the 90's. the reg square bodies half ton trucks were only produced until 87. after that the newer body style took over in light duty pickups in 88. totally different front end

[texasfunk]

trucks look good! and the crew step looks amazing! i have 8's on mine now with 275's, but i want wider in the back, i may just do the 15x10's with 5 backspace and 295's, i got the burb in the garage and gunna take the core support and swap them tomorro! thanx for the pics and info everyone!

if you want to go with big and littles stock 15X8 front with 235/60r15 and 15X10 rear with 5" bs and 295/50r15. the front track width on the 73-87 c-10 is roughly 4" wider than the rear. so the look will be perfect.

oh yeah, heres a pic of my 85 with the burban clip.

it really depend on what size rim you go with. and also the diameter of tire as well. most people say go with a 245/60 on the front because its the same diameter as a 295/50. but heres where it gets tricky. although it is the same diameter it will look taller when installed. the 235/60 is roughly 3/4" shorter than the 295/50, but when installed looks to be the same diameter. its an optical illusion. your just tricking the eye. but overall it looks more symetrical. you could probably go with a 60 series on the rear but it will be hard to find a 60 that fits a 10" wide wheel and still good. just my personal opinion though.

[bigbadjohn84]

I know it's not a 73-87 body style, but it is 15x7 in the front with a 235/60 and the rear is a 295/50 on a 8.5in wheel.

there's also 15x6.5 van rallies, and I have only seen 295/60s in a drag radial

yea, i have a full set of 15/6.5's, but i dont really like how they look on my truck, i had two of them in the front, hmm, i just dont want a taller tire up front, i dont like the look, but i got a good price on some 20's, brand new BOSS 338's for 850 shipped, 20x8.5 and 20x10, what do you guys think?
