Need Opinions, Dog Dish or Bare Steelies - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CraigT · 06-13-2023, 09:37 PM

My OCD is full throttle and I'm in turmoil here. Just added a 2.5 lift and 33x10.5's to my 15x6 stock wheels. Took the dog dished off so the tire shop didn't destroy them.

Now that they're off I like the look. Can't decide whether to leave them off or put them back on.

What ever the spid says

Probably a bit late for this, but I say put 8 inch wide rims, then put the dog dish back on. But, that is just me, and I like the look of a 15x8 rim

I've been trying to secure 15x8" steel wheels for months. They're apparently made of unobtainium. Wheel Vintiques seems to be the only reliable supplier of 15x8s, but their's won't fit over my disc brakes. I'm OK with the pizza cutter look.

Looks a tiny bit more "offroad" without the dishes, but both look good

X2! The tale of 2 4X4's, one looks like it is used off road, other looks like it is used on pavement.

Thanks! I didn't expect this topic to get such a great response. It's awesome.

I LOVE my truck and love this forum. Although I'm mostly a lurker, I could never have restored her without 10,000 searches on this site. Dozens of parts were sourced from forum members.

Wrenchbender Ret · 06-13-2023, 10:18 PM

I vote for the dog dish.

CraigT · 06-13-2023, 10:30 PM

Wow. I didn't think this would be unanimous. Looks like they stay.

**Warrens69GMC** · 06-13-2023, 10:36 PM

Leave them on

**NGN** · 06-13-2023, 10:38 PM

Hmmmm, I think you have to get another exact same truck to have one with and one without. Sorry that's all I got. Nice truck you got there either ways.

So, what you're saying is, this Powerball lottery ticket I'm holding is a winner?

Trio · 06-13-2023, 11:41 PM

another vote for On.

**jocko** · 06-14-2023, 12:08 AM

left side on, right side off (cheaper than the 2-truck approach)

(just kidding - another vote for dog dishes ON, all 4 of them)

**Ironangel** · 06-14-2023, 05:47 AM

Dish...ON!

**Getter-Done** · 06-14-2023, 06:20 AM

If you got them, Show them. On
