Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
Anyone happen to have a picture of a lwb fleet with 2.5" front drop - 4" rear drop with 15x8 4" b.s. front and 15x10 5"b.s. rear?
I know it's a shot in the dark but.... I'm thinking thinking that I'd like to go that route with my '72.

wheels
I am probably going to go with either the truck or vette ralleys on my 69 step. I am wondering if there are other center caps that fit the truck ralleys besides the original caps? It would have to bolt on as the original ones or snap over the lugs like the later model ones I suppose.
What are the center cap options for the vette ralley besides the big derby? It's time to make a decision.

My dads old truck
Heres my Fathers old 1972 Cheyenne Super, he sold it back in 99'
If I remember correctly the truck had a 6/8 drop spindles & coil up front and coil for the rear. All I can really remember is that it had about 1.5-2" of clearance under the A-arms It had Polished Torque Thrust D's Front - 15x8 w/standard backspacing (I believe its 3 3/4") with 265/50's Rear - 15x10 w/standard backspacing (I believe its 3 3/4") with 295/50's Just in case anyone wants anymore pics find them here

Here's my combo...... Impala SS factory rims which are 17" x 8.5" with 5.125" backspace. Tires are 265/65/17. I had 31 x 10.5 on 15 x 8 ralleys and the new combo sits higher, rides smoother and absolutly tracks straight with no vibration.

You can go with either a pancake cap or a disk brake cap which isn't as big as a derby.

Well, since my set up has changed, I thought I would post my truck here again. Look at my last post on this thread to see what it was like before... Now it has 15x8 ralleys and BFG Radial TA 255/70/15 on all four. Still set at stock height. My wife says its "sexy"

How about dearched 3" or 4" and a 2" shackle ? Thats what I have done. Should be good While the springs are in the shop get new bushings installed.
Note. 2" drop shackles will not work with a wood floor. Thats why they make the 1.5" shackle.

Right now mine has the old tires on. My others are in storage while I get the shop set up ( just moved). But what goes on the truck are 17" ralleys with 335/35/17's in the rear with a 7 1/2-8" bs on an 11" rim. Up front they are 245/40/17's with a 4 1/2"bs on 9" rims if I remember right. The truck is bagged, body dropped 2", 3" drop spindles in the front and about 2" notch and 4" Z frame in the rear. The rockers sit about 5/8" off the floor and tires stuff up fully with about 1/4" femder to side wall gap.
