Tested some 20s yesterday!
Yesterday i visited a small cruise in near my home and met some friends.
One has a C 10 longbed project going on and he has some centerline wheels for it in 20x8 with 275/40 tires. Since it rained very much we took his K5 blazer to his shop and and tested the look of the 20s on my truck! I don´t like this style but i like the filled wheelhousing.they should be wider also or put on with 1,5 inch spacers! What do you think? Volker

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
I happen to like that style. I bet they look killer when clean and polished up.

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
I agree if they were polished they'd kick a$$

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
Looks good, I would just go wider for the rear wheels.

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
Not to bad, but I think your truck needs something like a 5-spoke design. (JMO...)
If you go with the Centerlines, definitely go with staggering sizes (20x8 and 20x10).

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
I like the 20s on your truck. But not the smooth style. Lets see some of your friend's trucks!

There´s a plastic smallblock in the back with all the nice polished parts on it and a nice custom soundsystem from Audiobahn! He rolls on satin black 20s with some flametread offroad tires! The TBI motor is also dressed up nicely and gets a great gasmileage that i´m very jealous about! I´lltry to get some pics in the near future! He recently bought a ´04 chevy truck for a very good price as his dailydriver and he´s looking for a 50´s panel or delivery truck! The centerline smoothies are ment for his C 10.we just put them onj to see how low he can go and if there´s any rubbing or steeringproblems! I think i´m ok with a good set of 17s to put on some bigger brakes! I can´t afford them anyways in the next years so i´ll ride my 15´s and keep them clean! Volker

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
I like the look of those wheels but I think the rears should be 20x10. I dont think I would run the 8's with spacers.

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
how much is your truck lowered it looks really good with those wheels definately need to be way wider out back but i think that is a cool looking wheel.

Another reason for getting some other wheels.( if i had money) I´d definetly would take a fife spoke like the Torq trust 2 or the Vintecs like N2TRUX has! My baby is lowered 4/6 and with the 15s on the lower a-arms are really near to the street and sometimes scrape! That problem wouldn´t be with 20s! Volker

Re: Tested some 20s yesterday!
hmmm... i think they should be much wider! For example i drive a 22x9.5 and even that could be wider in the back...
 Volker you could have told me that you guys meet up in the north... I also wanted to see olli's truck/project...
