How about some pics of 17's 18's and 20's? I need to see all to decide.

I need some pics of 17's 18's and 20's to decide what i am going to do.

I like the looks of the 20's but the prices of the 17's.

Also, where is a good source for wheels and tires?

What do I need to look for with backspacing and such because this is my first time buying wheels and tires.

Thanks alot everyone.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

1972SuperCheyenne, I love the look and stane of your truck. What kind of drop have you done to get 5/7. Do you have any pics of it with at any other drop with those rims? How much did those rims run you? I was looking at those or either the Torq Thrust II 405.

Thanks alot.

I also like the C-55 in Gunmetal. How do you guys think the 20" C-55's will look on a Black or Navy Blue truck?

Also, what exactly is backspacing?
