Maybe if I build an early 60's custom but I would never put wide whites on a 86 model truck.



Just for the hell of it here's my other two trucks too.

Re: My lowered 86 C10

Truck looks nice!

1. What size are your tires?
2. Do you rub on the inner fenders?
3. Do you hit the bed?
4. How much notch?


Thanks,
Ed

I agree. The wheel and tire combo suits it well.

My '86 also looks better in photos than in person!

If you have no notch, then do you hit the frame? There can't be much clearance...

Also, your white truck is a twin for my '98, except that mine's all stock. I planned to lower it like yours, but the truck was too new for my tastes so I picked up a '73 and will be selling the '98 soon.

Re: My lowered 86 C10

Looks good!!!!!!

My only suggestion would be to cleanup and paint the brake drums... they distract a little....

Very nice! I really dig your truck. I need to start looking for a set of those thin white walls for my winter wheels.

215/75r15. I have firestones on it but the only white walls I can currently find are Hankooks. I have a set of them on my 99 Tahoe and really like them. No new pictures, the rear main seal was leaking pretty bad so I pulled it. I'm almost finished with the suspension on my Tahoe so I'm about to roll it back into the shop and do a link rear suspension with coilovers and get the motor painted and put back in. Probably do some different wheels as well.
