Think im going with 22s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

xfsketch · 12-13-2013, 06:30 PM

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?

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.

xfsketch · 12-13-2013, 07:17 PM

These are all on 22s

JakeDW · 12-13-2013, 08:35 PM

Do 20 and 22 looks better.

xfsketch · 12-13-2013, 09:03 PM

I like that look too jake

xfsketch · 12-13-2013, 09:04 PM

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

JakeDW · 12-13-2013, 09:17 PM

Don't think any lo pro gona look good stock stance.do a 5 and 7 drop 245-40-20 and 285-35-22

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

xfsketch · 12-13-2013, 10:56 PM

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.

xfsketch · 12-13-2013, 11:03 PM

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?

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 12:22 AM

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

Andy4639 · 12-14-2013, 10:05 AM

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.

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 07:15 PM

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.

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 07:17 PM

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