17" or 18" Coys...Anybody? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dooce · 04-10-2010, 08:46 AM

I really need some new wheels. Would really like to run Coy C-5s, just not 20s. Is anyone running 17 or 18" Coy C-5s? I need to see some pics and wheel and tire specs please. Thanks DOOCE

I don't think I have seen anyone running 17's. There are a few 18 posted on here. Why not 20's?

justpball · 04-10-2010, 10:41 AM

I have 18s on the front of mine now, but this week my 20s should be in, the 18 are just a little to small for the opening in my case but I do have a burb to so that doesnt help...LOL. I also am running a tiny tire because I am bagged and wanted it as low as I could go, so it would look better with a bigger tire. here is a pic of mine just so you can see the 18s on the front.

and here is a 20 on the same truck...

Why is it that these wheels just look so good over and over and over again? It really makes me wonder about spending the big money on a set of billets.

I'm just not a fan of huge wheels. I will admit that the 20" C-5's on these trucks look good, just not what I want. I also want to run a tire with some sidewall.

3r!c84 · 04-10-2010, 12:17 PM

i wanna see this too.

Edgel82c10 · 04-10-2010, 12:30 PM

These are not Coys but Torq Thrust 17x9.5 wrapped in 275/60r17

Blue Gas · 04-10-2010, 05:30 PM

I'm running 18x7's with 245/45 up front and 18x9.5's with 275/40 out back. I'm saving up for 20" tt2's.

Smoke_Dog · 04-10-2010, 05:38 PM

I've seen this truck from Moultrie in the Honeybee Festival! I'm in Valdosta !!!

dooce · 04-10-2010, 07:42 PM

Blue Gas- Whats the backspacing on those? It looks good, just about what I want, probably some more tire though.

piecesparts · 04-10-2010, 09:57 PM

I thought about Coys, but wound up with 17" Billet Specialties "Qualifiers" instead. They maintain a better shine than the Coys. I found mine at a decent price at my local Sport Truck guy, he beat the computer outlets.

Blue Gas · 04-10-2010, 10:44 PM

The 18x7's are 4.25", and I believe the 18x9.5's are 5".

dooce · 04-12-2010, 08:36 AM

Thanks blue, anyone else?

You must have had to roll your front fender lips to get a 4 in backspacing > If you didnt , Ive got 2 17x9.5 tt2's that Ive been thinking about trying on the front . They have 5.5 backspacing which should stick out the same as your 8 in wheels with 4 in bs. What do you think ? Oh mine is lowered about the same as yours also.

I didnt roll mine and I have the same, so you should try those I think they would work!
