Foose Nitrous Wheels on SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

keiths69swb · 02-07-2008, 08:28 AM

Does anyone have a set of chrome foose nitrous wheels on their truck? I was wanting to purchase a set of 18's for the front and 20's for the rear. I would really appreciate the chance to see them on one of our beloved trucks before I spend the cash. Also what backspace should I have? I have a 71 SWB with the stock rearend.

Yes, please post all the pics you can. Does anyone have a picture of them on a white truck?

Thanks for all the input.

abadsvt · 02-07-2008, 03:53 PM

Your truck is awesome!!! Those wheels really set it off... What backspacing did you get? And what color are you going to paint it?

I believe the backspacing is 4" for the front on a 8.5" wide tire and 4.5" on the rear with a 10" wide tire. The rear tires just BARELY fit. I mean i have about 1/2" minus on each side before the fender hits the tire. I think i am gong to paint it with House of Color True blue. It is a light blue with tons of pearl. That or viper red. Thanks for the complements

Yeah they are 20's. The front tire is 245/35/20 and the rear tire is 275/30/20. I am going to have to replace the front tire size because when i bought my wheels i didn't use a tire calculator and the front wheel is bigger than the rear by 1" so i am going to replace the front tire with 245/30/20 then the tires will be correct sizes.

Does anyone know if killer71's wheels are 18's and 20's?

They look like they are

keiths69swb · 02-09-2008, 12:37 PM

Now I don't know if I want 18's and 20's or just 20's. My truck has 2.5 inch drop spindles and 4 inch springs in the back. I just wonder what would look better? Oklahoma roads are horrible for layin frame. I wish I could go lower without having to worry about it.

68 short step · 02-09-2008, 01:28 PM

yes they are 18s front and 20s rear, on killers71 truck

bowtieboy93 · 02-09-2008, 01:45 PM

man i wish i knew where here in bc that red one is!

keiths69swb · 02-09-2008, 02:31 PM

Is it just me or does killers front tires look a little taller than the rear? That is a killer truck though.

BodyDropped67 · 01-05-2009, 12:31 AM

I have a 67 and was wondering if the foose wheels would fit due to the front roater and the hub
