Re: whitewalls yes or no
You asked for opinions...
I feel whitewalls have no buisness on 90% of the cars that get them, and I have NEVER seen them look good on a truck. |

Re: whitewalls yes or no
The theme of the vehicle is what dictates whether or not you use whitewalls and what kind it is.
When these trucks were new, whitewalls were just stripes...maybe 1/2 an inch. But, raised white letters, red stripe, gold stripe, and other dressy forms of whitewall were not uncommon. If you leave the truck as it is, I vote no whitewalls. If you go with a theme that is more retro, i.e., Fifties-style, then whitewalls MIGHT be okay. The width you show in the second picture is not right for these trucks, expecially on a rallye wheel.

Re: whitewalls yes or no
Maybe with full hubcaps, but even then the ww is too wide.

Re: whitewalls yes or no
White walls look good if you lower it and use different wheels

Re: whitewalls yes or no
SAY NO!!! To raised white letters!!! I'd take white walls any day over raised letter. Raised letters were never nice to begin with lol
I've got skinny whites on my '72 Blazer 4x4 (came with them)...at least till I throw some 33-35s on it.
