HELP - Havin a heck of time finding wheels I like AND fit (20"+) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DrtyJack75 · 02-07-2011, 03:53 PM

So my truck is a 67. I have Porterbuilt Dropmember and Accuair air ride. I plan on running a 20" in front and a 22" in the rear. Talking to Nate, he suggested a 20x8.5" w/5.25 BS and a 22x10" w/5.5 BS.

Then due to the front rotor hub size, Im having a heck of a time finding wheels that FIT and I LIKE that dont cost an arm and a leg. I've found a couple that are ok but when your droppin that kind of money, OK just isnt good enough.

How about posting some pics of your 20-22"s....I'd prefer to stay with a 6 lug but I have the 5 lug axles in the box, so either will do!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Not sure but i think if you want to tuck the rears you will have to narrow the rear end with a 10" rim.

DrtyJack75 · 02-07-2011, 06:27 PM

Im not saying your wrong but I have a 67 rear end so I was told it's narrower than the new ones

**67cheby** · 02-07-2011, 06:44 PM

look in the for sale section on this board (99-06 for sale section) there is a sweet set of Intro Vista twisted 6's , 22's wheels and tires $3400

DrtyJack75 · 02-07-2011, 07:26 PM

those are sweet....but Id have to run a spacer, and would rather have a bigger lip in the rear. I wish I could afford new Intros in my sizes

Not to highjack the thread or anything but I'm running 22x9 Centerline Smoothies with a 5.5 backspace, should I go with a 67 rear end also or will it tuck on the 72 rear I have now?

**67cheby** · 02-08-2011, 11:57 AM

i think you will have to switch to the narrower rear end

m6z · 02-08-2011, 05:14 PM

22X10 with 5.5 b.s. will work with the 67 & 68 rear. That's the same specs on the rear wheels that "old aux" is running.

VA72C10 · 02-08-2011, 05:35 PM

What kind of look are you wanting? A smoother look to go with the look of your truck or something more agressive/modern?

Have you considered smoothies with an added center cap to have a modern smooth flair to an "old school" look?

67C10BUB · 02-08-2011, 05:48 PM

Have you considered the Showwheels Streeters or the Iroc wheel clones. They are the 2 that I am looking at right now and they are cheap.

I second this as I just bit the bullet and bought 18x8 & 20x10 Flat black C-5's. I know alot of people have them on this forum but they are just badass looking and i have only seen them in person about 5 times. You could run 20x8.5 and 22x9 C-5's.

colin_havens · 02-10-2011, 07:01 PM

Wheels can set the entire attitude of your truck. Billets usually cost more, but you get more of a custom fit. Centerlines are the most reasonable if you are going with billets, and they do have more options than Smoothies, although you do see alot of those. You can go with chrome wheels if you want to save a little cash, but you will have less fittiment options, so be sure to measure, measure, measure before you buy.

Good luck with your search, Im sure you will find something you will just have to have to make your ride complete.

**67cheby** · 02-10-2011, 07:08 PM

the Boyd wheels on the c10 forum are $2500 now including shipping .....just saying

**67cheby** · 02-10-2011, 07:09 PM
