time for some new rims
looking for some new rims guys for my 72, and wanted some feedback on whats out there and who yall used. i would like to keep a staggered look but not sure about rims size would look best
i do like the look of more sidewall on the tire, just don't want rims with rubber-bands on them! i guess i just wanted any info on good venders to use and make sure everything fits right thanks guys!  Chris truck as it sits now...

Re: time for some new rims
Are you looking for classic style or newer look? I think your truck wod look great with a set of slots or even the polished tt2s that were popular a while back, but thats just me.

Re: time for some new rims
My suggestion is go with 255/70 15's on all 4 corners mounted on 15 x 8 Rallys. The P255's are 29.4 inches high and have lots of sidewall and fill the big wheelwells on theses trucks. The 255's also have a 10.3 inch footprint which looks greta on the truck.

Re: time for some new rims
Can't beat these billet specialties rims. Mine are 17 inch with a 31 inch tall tire on the back.

Re: time for some new rims
235 55 17 fronts on 17x8 4 1/2" backspace. 275 55 17 rear on 17x9 with 5" backspace.
Summit Racing Legend wheels in gunmetal gray. Wheels are very reasonable at $140 front and $150 rear.

Re: time for some new rims
damn guys those both look good, thanks for the ideas
i really like the 17" its fills in the wheel well nicely but leaves enough sidewall

Re: time for some new rims
The secret is in the tires. The rear is a reasonably uncommon size so it was expensive relatively speaking. But I am NOT a fan of no sidewall look and wanted the wheel wells full without the wheel looking too small or too big.
Fronts are 27" tall or stock height and rears are 29" tall.
