Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Well I guess I blew that theory. I know the wheels that the truck had on it in the eraly pics are 20's, but I would have sworn the Vintec's were 22's.

In Street Trucks Magazine it says that the Vintecs are 20s. It also says 255/35/20s front and back IMO I have 255/35/20 on the front of my truck. I dont think its wide enough for the rear or tall enough. I like to lay down some big tracks! |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
the thing i notice a lot is that the rearwheels on those trucks are in further than the front even more so on blazers , must be that the trackwith is smaller there , there not a lot of people that buy rims with a different offset for the rear to counter that (i dont think they would be more expensive though )

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Just picked this one up for my son a couple of days ago. Will be installing a 350 and probably most of the interior.

The Hill's truck does look like 22's but I can't say for sure because the B.Spec 20" fat-lip wheels do have larger 'windows' which make it difficult to determine on a computer screen.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Does anyone have a picture of a square body with Eagle alloy 212. I'm trying to decide between them or the 211.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
here ya go, personally, ilike the 211, both these are 17 with a 60 series tire, tried to match the color of your truck as best as possible
