Pics if ya got 'em...

shifty · 04-05-2006, 05:16 PM

there is a "wheel/tire" thread stuck in the top five or six posts on this page. popular topics like this are often found stuck in the forums.

here is a direct link: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=143835

there are several combos to be found in there. enjoy

jay-dawg · 04-05-2006, 05:51 PM

none of them are 18 and 20s. Most are all 17s or all 20s. I tried looking for him but couldnt find one.

shifty · 04-05-2006, 06:00 PM

i swore i just saw a thread recently that had 18/20 combos in it. :\

there are some links *inside* the wheel and tire thread that linked into other wheel/tire threads that people found. are you sure there isn't something in one of those?

Thanks Shifty. I have seen the sticky and all the related links and have done extensive searching, and seen many pics for good ideas. Just tryin to wrap my head around what an 18/20 combo would look like.

Hard to search for a post with 18 or 20 in it as the search engine filters them out as 'too short'. So, I decided to start a thread and ask directly.

Thanks again -Chris

jay-dawg · 04-06-2006, 04:22 AM

I saw one, but it was on a blazer. lemme check the classic trucks links.

brb,
Jay

jay-dawg · 04-06-2006, 04:33 AM

This looks like 18 & 20s although it doesnt say

I noticed you had a step bed. This pic might prove a little useful but I don't remember the rims sizes...gee lot's of help I am huh?

legends · 04-06-2006, 08:20 AM

search member name danny ewing. He has a beautiful blue truck running 20s and 18s

shifty · 04-06-2006, 04:15 PM

sorry, i was totally wrong about the thread up there. i should have looked, but it was 4 pages long!

here is danny's truck, it's running 18s and 20s, i hope this makes up for my mistake

shifty · 04-06-2006, 04:16 PM

i believe this blazer, somehow related, is also running 18s and 20s

shifty · 04-06-2006, 04:17 PM

i believe this one is running 18s and 20s also

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-06-2006, 04:20 PM

This is the combo I'm gonna run, how do I get more info on the Blazer ???

(Backspacing (Front and Rear) and Tire Sizes (Front and Rear) etc.........

1LoC10 · 04-06-2006, 05:07 PM

The blue one and the blazer use to live down the street from me.... They are the same wheels.. so who ever owns the blue one now might be able to tell you the size.. I know the rear end was from a 69 Camaro to allow that deep of a lip

kevncar · 04-06-2006, 06:54 PM

This is the guys truck that I thought legends was talking about.

18's up front just look to small with those thin tires. I am not a bling rim guy, but I like to see a wheel well properly filled. 20's are the biggest I would ever put on anything.

kevncar · 04-06-2006, 08:49 PM

That's why I am so impressed with Danny's truck. He put a relitively large sidewall tire on his wheels and I think it looks awesome.

1LoC10 · 04-06-2006, 09:11 PM

Yeah A agree that one looks great with "real" tires on it

a camaro rearend will not "bolt in", but will work with a little modification.
It will be set up for parallel leaf springs and will not have a panhard bar mount on it. you will need to cut the leaf mounts off and weld on an angled set of mounts for your trailing arms. If its going to be very low I assume you will be using some sort of track bar and the panhard mount will not be much of an issue.

That blue and white truck is WICKED
