Who Makes Custom Offset Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oldsc10 · 07-27-2007, 08:20 AM

I've been checking different wheel manufactures on the net. Attempting to put as much tire as possible under a 1967 stepside with coils and stock length axel. Will tub with fleetside inner fenders. Looking for a 9 1/2 to 10 inch backspace on a 12 or 14 inch rim. 15 inch diameter. Seems some list a 7 1/2 backspace, but nothing larger. Summit site says they can special order Cragar ss wheels in custom backspaces. I have seen some of the steel wheels listed in custom backspaceing. Anyone know of any other companies out there that offer this option. Trying to check all options before buying. Any imformation appreciated, thanks.

most wheel manufacturers will make up custom wheels what you need to do is call them and talk to them live on the phone

Just a head up though. They are very expensive. I am trying to remember but i looked into getting custom wheels made and i believe that they were around 1k each. I am sure it depends on what you want and so on and so on but custom isn't cheap. Good luck and make sure you post pics!!!

Find the wheel you want and call the manufacturer,as suggested.It`ll cost alot less to have them made to order than buy wheels,send out for altering(which would include:disassembly,fabrication,welding,aligning,balancing,and polishing...maybe chrome),and shipping back.

We carry several wheel companies that do custom offsets in all price ranges. Let me know what style of wheel you are looking for.

Thanks for the replies so for. Here is some pics of the old girl. Don't know if I did this right. We will see. Have owned this truck for 20 years. Was a daily driver for about 10 years. Put the 455 in it about 8 years ago. My then to be x-wife said I was nuts and the truck would never run with an Olds in it. Did for several years. Anyway, it got parked in the garage about 6 years ago. My X got to keep the garage, so I had to move it along with the rest of my stuff about 5 years ago. Getting caught up on finances finally, so I am now starting to throw a little money into the project. Ordered a 4/6 drop with disc conversion from ECE Monday. Waiting for the UPS guy!! Changing to 5 lug. Going to call Summit. Their site lists 15X12's & 15X14's on drop ships with custom backspacing for a little over $200 apiece. Thanks guys for your input.

They are expensive but worth because they really set off our trucks. Make sure you triple check your sizes because custom wheels can't be returned.
