**CHIZZLER** · 04-09-2010, 10:27 PM

The adapters are 1.25 on all four corners. I got them through billet adapters. They run about $69 pair. They are 5x5 to 5x5.5

LOW DOUGH · 04-12-2010, 12:10 PM

Looks good Danny

tcb-1 · 04-12-2010, 01:05 PM

no Danny, I think you have the cool factor over my lowly 17's!!!

**CHIZZLER** · 04-12-2010, 07:51 PM

thanks for the feedback.i think i like them,but dont love them.here is a pic of the 15" cragars.and here is a pic of the 20" steelies.i like the look of the big fat tire a little better.

NZSquare · 04-12-2010, 08:29 PM

Im a fan of the 20's, but I know what yourre saying about the 15's, Im putting a set of dodge rims mine in the next few weeks.

I was planning on having the tires striped white, theres a guy here (New Zealand) that does them, I got them done on my rallyes.

He scrubs the tire up with a sort of a grinder attachment then rolls a white rubber emulsion on which etches the tire. Ive had it on the 15's for a few months and it seems to be holding up ok, gives the wheel a bit of definition so they dont look like big black holes, same sort of effect as the white writing I reckon.

tcb-1 · 04-12-2010, 08:57 PM

my God Danny, I love that freakin rig of yours!!

pro touring with a slice of nostalgia. swaeeeet!

**CHIZZLER** · 04-12-2010, 09:43 PM

thanks a bunch. this truck started life as a 3/4 ton long bed. it had 56k original miles.no rust at all.the hood i foung later.the paint job is right of of trucks.faux tina.you put the first too coats on with a roller and brush.yes you heard correctly.you wet sand through the layers to get the end result.total cost about $300 bucks.here is a before and after.lot of time in sanding.

tcb-1 · 04-12-2010, 09:52 PM

Danny, man you should have done a "how to" on your paint method. I wondered if it was real or faux patina. who cares, it looks great.

can you turn your front wheels lock to lock still, or do you have some minor rub?

**CHIZZLER** · 04-12-2010, 09:55 PM

no rub at all.if any one has interest in the paint.go to bowerblock tv and you can see the process.very easy.we srayed this thing in front of my shop with beer in hand.

**CHIZZLER** · 04-12-2010, 10:13 PM

hey doug. what are you rollin on know. you know they have a 20" steelie in six lug. they came on armadas and some infinities.

Ory Gun · 04-12-2010, 11:27 PM

Dood, Love the 20's Danny...they look great! You forgot to tell everyone that you had to one up me when I put the 17's on the Burb.......great pic of my godson standing next to his future chick magnet!

**CHIZZLER** · 04-12-2010, 11:54 PM

Ory Gun · 04-13-2010, 12:00 AM

**CHIZZLER** · 04-14-2010, 12:21 AM

everyone has that hood. im tryin to do something a little diffrent. they have a hood ornament that came on them in 60-61. it kinda looks like the 55-57 bel air. cant seem to find one.

mexgrhd68 · 04-14-2010, 12:25 AM

im sorry, but, but did u have to redrill to accept the 5 on 5 bolt pattern or did u use adapters??

**CHIZZLER** · 04-14-2010, 12:30 AM

1.25 adapters. 5x5 to 5x5.5.

mexgrhd68 · 04-14-2010, 01:42 AM

thx ^

mexgrhd68 · 04-14-2010, 03:20 PM

do u have to use that thick of an adapter?? and ur paint, what kind of paint did u roll on?? and what kind of paint u spray on top of the first coats??

**CHIZZLER** · 04-14-2010, 07:42 PM

the backspacing on these wheels is 6".the back is not the problem.the front will hit.some guys have re drilled rotors and axles to make them fit without adapters. go to powerblock tv.com they did a 52 pickup with faux tina.you put diffrent colors on and sand through after your done.very easy.all of the paint is duplicolor laquer. you can buy it at almost any parts store.
