20" steelies

finally got these on they are off 09-2010 nissan titan or armada spares. the tires are 275/40/20, im using 1" spacers, the bolt pattern is the same but the hub size is smaller.

i think it would look better if the truck was lower, and also maybe a different color truck. what do you guys think.

Re: 20" steelies

Hard to tell from the pic but with a 1" spacer it would seem they are no longer hub-centric so the wheel is riding solely on the lugs now? those steel 20's look pretty good but your truck looks sweet with those rally's in the first pic. I'm sure others will chime in with different opinions.

Re: 20" steelies

Slam that truck and paint the rims silver and it will look awesome. Similar thing was done by a forum member using Toyota FJ steelies. They can be made to look great, but takes some work.

Re: 20" steelies

mmm, hum. that's what I was telling Keith (lolife99) last weekend. the Nissan Armada/Titan steel rims would fit right up. I saw these rims silver from the factory as well.

I like these. they have great potential. you could run caps, you could go naked, you could paint them.

yep, definitey a lower stance would make the babies pop!

Post a nice pic of the complete truck, and we can make that happen via photoshop.

Re: 20" steelies

Man, I like your truck! IMO, there is so much black in the 2nd pic, it takes away from how nice the truck looks. I agree the rallyes looked good to start with, but maybe if you paint the wheels a light contrasting color and/or put a tire on them with more sidewall.

Re: 20" steelies

gotta say i digg the rallies more. that crome lip really does alot to offset the overall black of the truck. not that the steelies look bad just kinda washes out the truck i think. but yes i do agree that a slightly lower stance would really make this truck stand out. btw very nice truck!

Re: 20" steelies

Updates? Did you keep them? I think they look horrible and you should just send them to me.

Re: 20" steelies

im giving the 67 to my daughter but removed the 20s and put the rallys back on. got myself a 72 blazer and i will be converting it to 2wd and bringing it down, and using the the 20s on it. thanks for all the compliments.

i wanted to bring the 67 down lower but my daughter says she likes the stance as is.
