finally decided on wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skeeterbug · 02-23-2010, 09:58 PM

well i finally decided to get some wheels for my project, after alot of thinking i decided on coys. i know they are run alot on our trucks but i wasnt satisfied w/ the look of anything else for the price. I planned on running a 18/20 combo till i came across a really good deal from another board member on a set of 20/22's. the big brown truck is supposed to drop them tomorrow and my tires are waiting at the tire shop for there new mates, i just hope my 2" drop springs,3" drop spindles front and 4" drop coils rear will be enough drop not to look totally getto? the tires are 255/40-20 fr and 265/40-22 toyo proxes st's, if anyone has pics of a similar setup on a lwb i would love to see some pics. excited as hell but nervous at the same time!!

THe coys are probably the best option or best bang for the buck for our trucks. There are better looking wheels, but at 2 or 3 times the price. The Coys do look good though.
Good Selection.

Looking forward to pictures...personally I like it where the tires almost tuck or do when running 20's or 22's...however, you could easily fix that with a 2" drop block or swap to a 6" rear spring if you're not happy with the look when you throw them on there.

It will not look ghetto. Truck will look tough! I am getting some Coys for my truck soon also...

nastyc10 · 02-24-2010, 02:25 PM

Those Coy's are gonna look sweet! Like previously mentioned if the rear isn't low enough you could always throw in a drop block to bring it down some.

keep us posted with before and after pics, for the stance with the tire/rim combo.

Do the Coys fit without spacers? I hear you have to have spacers if you run the Boss 338's.
