Re: Test fitted wheels... opinions wanted :)

I like it alot just bring the front down a little and it will be perfect. I was wondering what these trucks would look like with 18s and 20s.the staggered look is awsome.

Thanks, I like how there is a "little meat" on the rear tires. I just picked up some 315/35/20's for the rear of my 86swb today. Close fit!!!

Looks great!

Honestly though, my personal preference goes against the staggered wheel look. I think the 73-87 trucks are too symmetrical and balanced in their 3 box design to sport a stagger. I would go with the same rim size all around, but if the stagger look is your thing, that's an awesome truck.
