17x11

[vern350]

Anyone run 17x11 in the rear of their trucks or know of a rim that will work

Anything is possible but I think it will depend on the drop and the backspacing. My 17X10s are pretty close.

have you got pictures of your setup Cherub?

[Cherub]

I have pics but it they arent a good angle. ill take some tonight and try and measure the back spacing.

I run 17 by 11's on all my trucks. I like them because they are wide and you can also tuck em easily on these trucks with the right custom backspacing. Check out my piks...I ain't posting all the info on all the rims/and backspacing because they are all different, by if you have specific questions feel free to ask and i'll answer.

Looking real good Slammed '87, currious to the tires specs and rim offset on that black/grey truck if you don't mind.

In the first two pictures the rears are 17 by 11 with 3.5" backspacing and 335/35/17 rubber. They stick out a little more than i'd like but i bought them used. They came off a truck with a Ford 9" rearend. I plan to do the same someday. In the third pic the rears are 17 by 11 with 5" backspacing and 315/35/17 rubber. The best backspacing i have found on a 17 by 11 if you want to be real low is 5.5".

I think I'm pointed in the right direction now. What drop do you have on the truck in the 1st/2nd pictures?

[Slammed '87]

In those pictures it's about 6/5" drop. The front is 6" with 3" spindles and 3" springs. The rear is approx 8 - 9" with flip kit, two removed leaf springs and air bags. In those pictures the rear is aired up so the tires don't rub. I would guess it's sitting at about 5" lower then stock.

no prob. I look forward to seeing it lowered and what rims you pick.
