Yours is a 67 cab on a 71 chassis, correct? That should be the wider axle. The narrow axles are the mid-70 and earlier, which are 3/4" shorter per side and originally 6-lug. Conversion axles are available aftermarket to make them 5-lug. There are wide 6-luggers too, but were 70 only and a bit rare...

Mine is 65" to the outside of the brake drums. I don't know where I was supposed to measure from to get the ones listed above.

Forum Vendor: Mikes Bump and Grind Garage has pretty much the same wheel available.

I just ordered these from him.

Now I'm trying to figure what tire size to run. Any help????

Hotrob72 · 03-10-2012, 11:10 AM

I just bought a set of 20" streeters (centerline) ordered on a thur and were delivered on monday.....$750

And for the name on the wheel gripe, I have a similer wheel on one of my hotrods. Paid $2700 for the wheels, with a name on'em,,,,,FOOSE

You can also fill and paint 'em, if it bugs you...

Hey Andy,

I would go with the 18x8 Front / 18x9 Rear, and run a 275 tire on the rear. We are an authorized Showwheels dealer and already setup a few members on the forum here.

Give me a call and I can set you up with a good price. Below is a link to the wheels on our site that show the backspacing for the different sizes. Which is a 4.5" on the front and 5.25" on the rear for the 18's, which will work on your 68 C10.

Any advice against on the 20x10 rear going with a 295? I already have my fronts but need to pick up the rears in the next month or two. I plan on running 295/45/20 rear (20x10), 275/45/20 front (20x8.5)

That's too much back spacing for a 9" wheel on that truck. Will be 'sucked in' and possibly rub the inner...

My truck pictured above is a 20x10 w/ 295/40-20. Fits great! Had the 45s on my old blazer and they worked well, too.

Perfect, thans. Just skimmed your build thread and saw the other pics, looks great. Seemed nice and wide/agressive without having to tub or modify. Good little stagger too. Should be perfect/exactly what I was looking for.

Pro Performance · 05-25-2012, 12:06 PM

I was thinking he might of had the wider axle, but after speaking with him, he has the narrower. So yes, a spacer of .75" to 1" will be needed.

Regarding the 295, that is a good size for that 20x10. The 275 is a little wide for the 8.5, but could work. Just might have more tire bulge on the front than rear..... A 255 would be a better choice and what I would recommend.

Personally, I think it looks great. Could easily go narrower and still look great, but not any wider, that's for sure.

cardreams · 05-25-2012, 09:37 PM

20s all the way! 18s can look good, too. It's all about personal preference. Look around at other trucks here and see what you like better...

Truck looks great! The polished goes well with the chrome on your truck. Love that color too!

*E.Furgal* · 06-21-2012, 10:57 AM

mighty cheap.. I'd want to see what type of side loading. it take before breaking..
there has been a rash of wheel breaking when loaded.. at the drags.. ripping the centers where the lugs are off the rest of the wheel..

I have one word for your truck
