Re: 22x9 Coys, 5, or 5.5bs?

What spline are the axles I have? All 73+ Chevy 4x4 axles will be good? Nothing I have to look for?


What tire would go good with the 265/35/22 in a 24? The 305/35/24 is a big tire, but it's also 4.2in sidewall height and the 265/35/22 is 3.65, but it's close enough it would look ok but it's just big.


Thanks

The other choice is to measure.
Do you have a steel wheel (with no tire mounted) that you can bolt to the rearend and measure off of?

The only other option is to take it to bagged74's place and let him measure.

I don't know what else to tell you.

You need to measure both sides to verify how much the rearend shifts when you air it out.

Pretty sure both bs will fit but which could possibly look better on back if I run the 22x9.5 with 6.785bs on front. I don't want the back sunk in too far. I'm guessing that the rear if 10in and 7.1 would be out almost level with the front, but out very little. The 7.1 may hit because the 10in I tried was 6.29 and it was close but I have measurements somewhere.


I'd love to have Bagged74 do measurements but I have a 24in 5.91bs and a tire mounted that I'll try tomorrow. I'd measure but I really like the seeing if it fits thing.

Anyone got a link to the 6lug rotors I need from ECE? I can't find the ones I need no matter what I search for on there.

Here you go. Link doesn't change when you're in the catalog, so I saved a picture with the part number. Call them, they'll make sure you get the right thing.

Thanks for the pic. I hate computers so I always call and order. Also, thats not bad for a 6lug conversion.

Re: 22x9 Coys, 5, or 5.5bs?



Boss 313, this is my wheel! If I measure from my old wheel correct it should fit fine. My old wheel was 20x8.5 with a bs of 5.1, that means my front clearance would be the same on a 9.5 wide wheel and 6.1, and a 10in on 6.6bs. I'm thinking the 9.5in and 6.78 would be ok maybe but it'll be sunk way back in because my old 20's were. I'm looking at a 9.5 with 5.75 which is .34 out farther than my old 20in, which should be fine. I'm tried a 22x10 that fit fine and was 6.3, so the 9.5 and 5.75 should be about the same on the outside right?

Wheel posted above in a 22/24, after weeks of looking thats the one I'm getting.
