Re: Show off your Wheels
Thanks, I left them off. It looks more utilitarian, like a panel truck should.

Re: Show off your Wheels
I went from rally wheels in full trim to rally wheels with no rings to steelies with stock 72 caps on my '67 just in the last year.

Re: Show off your Wheels
Lotta good lookin trucks and wheels in this thread! Here's mine, with a few tire/wheels combos I have had. This truck has a '79 Camaro front clip, done the "No Limit way". It has the 10 bolt rear axle out of the same '79 Camaro
First picture: 18" Foose Legend wheels, 18"x7" in front (4" BS) with 225/40-18 tires. 18"x9" rear (5.25" BS) 275/40-18 BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2 tires. If you corner hard, there's no way that these would fit in stock tub opening. They'd be too close on inside and outside. With my '79 Camaro 10 bolt axle, I have good clearance to fender lip, but rubbed on bedside on both sides. Second picture: 17" Boyd Coddington Junkyard Dogs, 17"x8" front and rear, 4.5" BS. 225/45-17" up front, and 255/45-17 Cooper tires. These fit, but rubbed while cornering hard. I found that out when I saw burnt paint on the inside of the bed sides. 1/4" spacers would have resolved this. Third picture: 15" Cragar Chrome Smoothies. 15"x6" up front, with 3.5" back spacing. 15"x8" in rear, with 4.25" BS. BFG Radial T/A's 205/60-15 in front and 245/60-15's in rear. I bought a set of 275/60-15 tires, but would have needed a 1/4" spacer to make them fit without rubbing. This front wheel/tire combination is the only one that I have had that has not rubbed at all.

Re: Show off your Wheels
Curious if your wheels rub and would like to know the backspacing BUT... I guess that wouldn't tell me anything unless I knew what rearend it has and the width of it along with what front suspension it has.
Looks nice though. I really considered those for mine.

Re: Show off your Wheels
What you heard is inaccurate. There are many, many choices of tires in 16".
It's 15" that have limited choices. |

Re: Show off your Wheels
I saw this truck at a show recently, had Keystones on it. Fifteen inch front and back, not sure of the rim width. Can’t say I’ve seen many Keystones on truck, but it looks good.

Re: Show off your Wheels
Changed from my chrome smoothies (posted back in 2019) to these spoke style. Went from a 16x8 to 17x8 (235/55 17 tires).
