wheels
I'm looking to some ideas for wheels for my 72' c-10 fleetside. I've lowered it by 3" and want to know what will fit. 15" now but will 17" fit. Let me know...bossrod (pics if available)

Re: wheels
I just installed 2" lowered springs in the front, and 3" in back. I have 17" stealth wheels with P255 60 R 17's on all 4. The backs scrub just a little if I hit a bad hole in the road. Nothing to worry about that I can see.

Re: wheels
Thanks, it's in need of a paint job bad. It's been 1991 since I had it painted and it's in bad need of a one. The reason for the new springs was the other 2 had broke. I guess the heat and 15 years of driving it finally did it in. Passenger side was in 3 peices when I took it out, driver's side was in 2.

Re: wheels
Check out www.coyswheel.com or www.buywheelstoday.com I got the 18" x8.5" Reaction Fat 5 that are on my 72 GMC from buy wheels today, thru ebay. Fit good. Just needed 1/4" spacers in the rear, that came with the wheels. Also came with Kumho tires for $1300 or so.
