thirdstreettito · 11-17-2009, 09:18 AM

When I get my 83 C10 LWB, Im gonna put Nascar Daytonas on it. Either 17" all around or 17" front 18" rear. Post pics of trucks with 17's and 18's or just 17's. What tires sizes are you guys runnin? Thanks in advance.

I don´t have any pics for you but i really like that wheel!
Should look good on a low longbed!

Thanks, the truck is caramel/almond now. I'll repaint it a dark green I think. Anyone got pics?

I used to run 17" Centerlines on my '73. Also, 17" TT II's on my old '83. I planned on lowering the '83, but I sold it first...but one of the "photo choppers" did if for me...

What size tires?

jchav62 · 11-17-2009, 06:41 PM

On the '73, if I remember correctly..I had 235/50r17's up front and 235/70's?? out back.

The '83 had 255/45r17's up front and 255/55's in the rear.... +/-

My memory ain't what it used to be...

boatpuller · 11-17-2009, 08:07 PM

17's fit these truck's perfect in my opinion.they are the correct proportion in the wheel well.you don't look at them and think.."man,that's a big wheel"..or "man,that wheel look's small "they just fit the eye.now,i may be biased toward 17's since that's what i got.....but.that's why i got em.here's the spec 225/55/17 in front and the rear's are 275/55/17.oh.and i think those black nascars would be cool.don't see alot of those.way to think outside the box.i like it.

thirdstreettito · 11-17-2009, 08:38 PM

What width are your wheels? I am about to purchase my wheels and I am torn between the 17,18, or 20s. I want to keep it somewhat fitting with the age of the truck.

Thanks,
Jason

I'm with you can't decide what size to go with. I would like to find some old style 17's but the 20's might look better on my suburban.

asphaltburner · 11-18-2009, 01:51 AM

Yo! Not the stance that you might want,...but I feel that the 17" Foose Spanks and 33" Firestones on FRANKENTRUCK are in perfect proportion to this truck:

Here's a pic of mine before I began tearing it down. Cragar soft 8's.

And one during the tear down with the bed off.
