Re: 24's on a 72
I'm waiting for trends to reverse. I want to run 12s on mine, with about a foot of sidewall.
It's like ride height... if you live long enough, you've seen it all. Dropped in the back in the 50s, raised in the rear in the 70s, up in the air in the 80s, slammed to the ground in the 90s. By the time my kids are old maybe they'll drive around with taller tires on the front than on the rear and laugh at us... |

Re: 24's on a 72
When it comes to running large diameter wheels, stance is everything. The lower the better. Large wheels on a stock height vehicle look out of proportion.
The first pic is from when I first got my blazer, I hated it. The second is after I lowered it, I love it now.

Re: 24's on a 72
If it's lowered then yes, if not then no way.

Re: 24's on a 72
Stance is everything. Wheel design needs to be simple and clean as well.
