Re: Anybody ever had....

I have seen several square bodies with 20"s, 22"s wires. They actually look pretty good.
They are all chrome. I ran 17" wires on my 64' c10. Roadsteer wheels.

Re: Anybody ever had....

The bigger spokes look alright. Looking to stay more in the 15" range. Stance is already adjusted.
