Thanks, I left them off. It looks more utilitarian, like a panel truck should.

**3757chevy** · 05-03-2020, 10:33 PM

I went from rally wheels in full trim to rally wheels with no rings to steelies with stock 72 caps on my '67 just in the last year.

Lotta good lookin trucks and wheels in this thread! Here's mine, with a few tire/wheels combos I have had. This truck has a '79 Camaro front clip, done the "No Limit way". It has the 10 bolt rear axle out of the same '79 Camaro

First picture: 18" Foose Legend wheels, 18"x7" in front (4" BS) with 225/40-18 tires. 18"x9" rear (5.25" BS) 275/40-18 BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2 tires. If you corner hard, there's no way that these would fit in stock tub opening. They'd be too close on inside and outside. With my '79 Camaro 10 bolt axle, I have good clearance to fender lip, but rubbed on bedside on both sides.

Second picture: 17" Boyd Coddington Junkyard Dogs, 17"x8" front and rear, 4.5" BS. 225/45-17" up front, and 255/45-17 Cooper tires. These fit, but rubbed while cornering hard. I found that out when I saw burnt paint on the inside of the bed sides. 1/4" spacers would have resolved this.

Third picture:
15" Cragar Chrome Smoothies. 15"x6" up front, with 3.5" back spacing. 15"x8" in rear, with 4.25" BS. BFG Radial T/A's 205/60-15 in front and 245/60-15's in rear. I bought a set of 275/60-15 tires, but would have needed a 1/4" spacer to make them fit without rubbing. This front wheel/tire combination is the only one that I have had that has not rubbed at all.

Curious if your wheels rub and would like to know the backspacing BUT... I guess that wouldn't tell me anything unless I knew what rearend it has and the width of it along with what front suspension it has.

Looks nice though. I really considered those for mine.

here a thread I did awhile back a 275 tire would rub IMO. I have a uncut gm10bolt , just research things and measure .

truck gets tons of compliments on the wheels the lip and offset look great.

Hey 16 inch wheels! I keep thinking that is the size I would like as well but I have heard that some 16 inch rubber may not be easily obtainable? Anyone have thoughts on that? Thanks for the effort posting your pictures!

roger55 · 05-10-2020, 09:59 PM

What you heard is inaccurate. There are many, many choices of tires in 16".
It's 15" that have limited choices.

A lot of suv/ 4x4 run 16 inch wheels, I just spent a little time researching
to get the tyre size/ratio that I wanted,

Johns327 · 05-23-2021, 05:36 PM

I saw this truck at a show recently, had Keystones on it. Fifteen inch front and back, not sure of the rim width. Can’t say I’ve seen many Keystones on truck, but it looks good.

**bosco** · 05-24-2021, 01:45 PM

Changed from my chrome smoothies (posted back in 2019) to these spoke style. Went from a 16x8 to 17x8 (235/55 17 tires).

I haven't come back to this thread in months (obviously). A very generous offer, thanks so much.

I bought some 17x7 & 17x9 smoothies I will be painting and using with '51-'52 car caps and narrow ribbed beauty rings. I need to test mount the to see how they fit first.
