So youre running 17's, eh? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to figure out rim widths and tire sizes... i'm looking at putting 17x8's on the front and 17x11's or 17x9.5's on the rear... just curious if anyone has this combo? and what size tires are you running? anyone running these rims on a stock height? dropped?

PICS! would be awesome!

My 75 has 17x9.5's all around, with 255/55 17's wrapped around em. Now, I have 5.5" of BS on all four, but if I had it to do over again, I'd put 17x8 up front, with 4" of BS, because I have a SLIGHT rubbing problem when I make full-lock right turns. (I'm dropped 5/5[Spindles/Springs-Flip Kit])
Look in my sig for a picture.
