Foose wont fit?
Well i was thinking very seriously about getting a set of foose nitrous w/ grey centers in 20 by 8.5 front and 20 by 10 rear, but my wheel guy said they dont make 5 on 5 in the grey center to fit my truck, but do in the chrome? he said i could run the grey ones if i use shims, oh hell no! anyone else encountered this problem?

I have the chrome Nitrous 20" on front and 22" on rear. No issues front or rear with my 71 suspension.

Re: Foose wont fit?
thats the thing my wheel guy said he could get the chrome nitrous in any bs, but the grey faced nitrous were limited on backspacing. avysittinon22s i would love to see some pics of your truck it appears to be the same direction im going w/ mine the paint and grill anyway.

Re: Foose wont fit?
I had to run a 1/4" spacer on an s10 i had because the wheels would rub the lower control arm and didnt have any problems but c10s are alot heavier though. Would also show with nitrous wheels alot also.

Re: Foose wont fit?
thanks for the pics, i will use them for inspiration to get through the body work on my 71 lwb. once i get the cab sanded down enough on mine the rest will be more like progress and not like a tear down progress, i went through enogh of that already. love your trucks look and stance though its the best ive seen, just my 2 cents.
