rear strong arms on 67 w/22x12.... 3piece rims - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c10seconds · 01-27-2010, 12:08 AM

this is as low as it goes in the rear with the new rear suspension. I like it and the ride is much nicer but now I have to figure something out for the front suspension. Any suggestions? Its a big block daily driver almost

. I also got going on the mini tub. I might have to walk over to Porterbuilt to see if they have any ideas

Just thought you would all like to see

Damn I want those wheels...

Musclerodz · 01-27-2010, 02:18 AM

I would prefer a taller tire, but otherwise looks great!

VA72C10 · 01-27-2010, 02:23 AM

Looks great....are you going level or lower in the front? Inner fenders or none? If inner fenders and level, just do bags and drop spindles and you'll match the rear.

Thanks! As far as inner fenders go, I would prefer to keep them and and just be able to level the truck. The pics show the truck completely aired out

Thanks Musclerodz!

Tire side wall out back is a little smaller than I wanted as well. Im running a 295/25/22 tire in the rear and will be going with AT LEAST a 30 series. So I guess that will bring me up just a hair in the rear.

If you went with the ART arms, bags, and cups you'd have a level front with the rear and keep the inners. A dropemember would lead to a bunch of other mods and no stock inners/A/C or heater box on the firewall, etc....

I was also wondering if these wheels look best with black centers the way they are? Or chrome centers, brushed centers? The truck is going to be painted soon. Black or silver. Im having a tough time making the decision

Beatcoaster · 01-28-2010, 01:44 AM

What are the wheels? do you know the backspace info as well?

Wheels are GFG trento 5. (3piece)
22x9.5 front
22x12 rear

not sure on the backspacing. They are off of a 2007 BMW 7series. All I did was disassemble the wheels and swap the front centers with the rears to change the backspacing and they fit pretty darn well
