Frame laying Porterbuilt truck 20s or 22s?

Time to buy wheels! At first I thought 20s where a no brainer but after seeing pics they looks a little small so I am considering running 22s. Wheels will be the new detroit steel delrays.

Re: Frame laying Porterbuilt truck 20s or 22s?

My vote is for 22s all the way around. I agree, as crazy as it sounds 20s look just a tad too small when laid out. I also don't care too much for staggered setups, at any height. It just accentuates the fact that the rear wheel arch is lower than the front and makes the truck look like its squatting even when it's level or even has a rake. Those Delrays are some great looking wheels. Definitely post up some pics once you get those things mounted!

I've heard those wheels are not actually available yet with the center caps as they've not found a way to mount them. Let us know if you know otherwise.

For size, I figure once you're at 20" you don't care about ride quality too much so why not go 22".

Re: Frame laying Porterbuilt truck 20s or 22s?

Here are some of my favorite trucks laying low on steel 22s for inspiration. These are GM Transit wheels, but I've noticed Mobsteel's 22s are very similar to the transits. Both have the characteristic triple lip that distinguishes them from the 20s. Mobsteel's 22s are just their 20" centers in the triple lip 22" hoops.

One of the first C10s on transport wheels. Built by Hale's Speed Shop


Jason Vanatta built truck is a perfect example


Chris Nunn's (cnunn70c10 on instagram) '70


Wscott9689's old truck


My truck is also on transits but it is not bagged. It is a good example of what these wheels look like at ride height though. This is photoshopped height but is exactly where it will be once I add spindles and blocks.

Re: Frame laying Porterbuilt truck 20s or 22s?

Since you're still undecided, here's some trucks on 20s. I was originally going to run 20s before I scored a deal on the 22s. I like the 20s because you can run a little more sidewall.

One of my favorites, built by Hart_Rod


Love this one too. badger69's truck


atponder's old truck
