17"+ rims - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Low67C10 · 08-05-2002, 11:51 PM

Anyone have a truck with 17" or larger diameter rims that can post pics? Also,if possible Id also like to know size and back spacing. I had planned on getting 18" Torq thrust IIs (8s and 10s), but found a great deal on 20" ones and am curoius to see how they might look. Thanks in advance.

They'll look god as long as the tires have a large enough sidewall. I have seen twenty's with 35 aspect ratio tires that look retarded!

I'll shut up now and post some pics!

I've got 18's on my '67 GMC. You can see some pics on my web site. There is no bed or front clip on it yet, so they may not do you any good. (my web address is in my sig.)

Wheels are 17x8 all the way around. Backspace is 5" and rears have a 5/16" spacer as well. On low stepsides wheel/tire clearance is TIGHT!

72chevyLWB · 08-09-2002, 07:30 PM

Geeze, all those trucks make mine look bad. 255/50/17 all around and 17X8 in front 17X9.5 rear with 4" offset all around.

dion · 08-09-2002, 11:06 PM

Mine are 17' rims.

Low67C10 · 08-09-2002, 11:36 PM

Thanks for all the pics, some nice trucks in there. Ive done the measuring and I think its gonna be 2 20x10s w/ 4.5" b.s. and 295/35s and 2 20x8s w/ 4" b.s. and 265/40s. Not sure on the rims, either polished torq-thrust IIs or some simple open-lug billet wheels.
