I've been running my slots lately, but I've been known to swap on my set of steelies at a moments notice! Boy, I can't wait to see my Blazer all one color again.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Thank you - I miss that one. 4" lift and 33 x 10.5" old style BFGs. I went with zero lift on my current Blazer with same size tires. With the 4" lift it was tough for my wife to get inside. That said, I still added the accessory steps to my zero lift current Blazer for her.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Awesome. I'm running the 12.5/33's - no lift but new leafs so it sits up decently. Thinking of going to the 10.5s for potentially better steering.

What's the lift on your K5 - 2"? Looks great...

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Pulled the tires and rims off of one of my CUCV's before I sold it and put them on the '72. The centers are off of a '73 K5 that had skinny steels that I replaced for rallies. The sun fading on the rims and caps seems to fit the well used theme.

I have steel wagons on mine. This is a few years ago before I started restoring it.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Finally got mine back from the powder coater and got the tires mounted. Need to finish painting the dog dish bowties, but at least a step in the right direction....

Nice. Tire size and spring lift if any?

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Nice K5's everybody. Here's mine and just got the 15 x 8 steelies which took me forever to find. Had em powdercoated and love the new radials. I was running bias ply pizza cutters on the 16 x 8's that were on it before. Here's a couple before and after pics. Love all the cool pics!

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
What size tire are you running? Do your Steelies have 4 nubs? I’m trying to find some. But only found with 3 nubs so far.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
They are 12:50 x 33” on 8” 4 nub Steele’s. My buddy just found some 3 nub from firestone with the correct back spacing for the calipers. I was always told 3 nub does not clear. I just saw hillbilly wizard.com has some m1009 rims but they are pricey. Mine are m1009 rims
