Pictures of our Trucks with Modern Wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FLDBRED · 01-12-2011, 03:07 PM

I was wondering what out trucks '67-72' would look like with the new Factory wheels? Any pictures? Thanks!

Longhorn Man · 01-12-2011, 06:06 PM

they generally don't fit. Some exceptions, but even those ones don't quite look right

YBNORML · 01-12-2011, 06:10 PM

On most of the newer factory wheels the offsets are wrong. They can be spaced out. But as longhorn said they never do look quite right.

the only wheel i have likes were the 90's 454 SS wheels, or the impalla SS 17's, other than that not a fan

FLDBRED · 01-12-2011, 07:20 PM

Thanks for the feed back!

trkfrk · 01-12-2011, 07:54 PM

I was hoping for some pictures???

Longhorn Man · 01-12-2011, 08:30 PM

there's a few, and I honestly hope they get posted... I'm not trying to be a thread crapper. The question comes up about once every week or two, so the interest is there, and I know there's a handfull of 3/4 ton guys with them and more than a few 1/2 ton guys with spacers...

Sicklajoie · 01-12-2011, 08:58 PM

Not mine, but a truck that I checked out on Long Island a month ago. Has the 2010 17" on it.

jondancer · 01-12-2011, 10:23 PM

more pics....i'v seen some with the impala ss rims that looked ok.

05crewcab · 01-13-2011, 12:48 AM

Here are mine, and I agree, the offset just aint quite right, but they were "free" so whatever. what I would like to do is put the hummer wheels off my diesel on it when the tires are more worn out. the backspace is better.

I also want to see 02 and up Dodge 2500 17"'s on one of these trucks. think they would look nice is a retro-mod kind of way

chevy406 · 01-13-2011, 01:25 AM

i would like to see a set of these on one but im pretty sure the offset is wrong on them.

Tried some on my 68 from my 07 burb. No dice, as far as strickly bolt em on goes. Hub center diameter is different. Could be done though I suppose......

1-PU70 · 01-13-2011, 10:23 AM

Here is mine with 2000 Tahoe Wheels. Its the only pic I have.

FLDBRED · 01-13-2011, 11:56 AM

Now were talking! Did you have to use spacers or anything?

faribran · 01-13-2011, 12:00 PM

DZNUCKS, i would like to see those on one of our trucks, also

63chevyll · 01-13-2011, 12:07 PM

those 20 Tahoe wheels are nice, its about time Gm started making decent looing wheels.

I wish they would put some bigger wheels on their duallys

The Hummer H2 wheels actually have about 1/2" more backspace than your PYOs currently on the truck, but the fact that they are 2" wider, they will stick out a little further. They still have 5.5" of backspacing.

The Dodge 2500 17s will sit further in than your 16" GM PYO's, they have about an inch more backspacing than your PYO's.

1-PU70 · 01-13-2011, 02:20 PM

No spacers and no rubbing. They are 16X7 5on5. They were on the 2000 Tahoe Limited only. 1 year - 1 model. Im running 265x70x16 its almost a 31x10.5x16

BB72CHEVKT · 01-13-2011, 02:42 PM

I have the front center caps on now. I just need to get some dually center caps for the rear or run a a spacer.

jondancer · 01-20-2011, 09:52 PM

i want to see one with chevy SSR rims, 18's front and 20's rear

Andy4639 · 01-20-2011, 10:59 PM

Are these the new Camaro wheels?

I would like to find a set to try if so.

Mlee110389 · 01-25-2011, 06:28 PM

Will the rims off a 2004 chevy 1500 SS fit? or is it the same offset problem

dznucks · 01-25-2011, 07:56 PM

The only issue with the new comaro rims is the bolt pattern is 5x4.75, which is not a common truck bolt pattern.

You would have to convert the front spindles and rear axles. Surely that can be done, but I am not for sure. Anybody got any insight on this?
