Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
17x8 w/255-60's on the front and 17x9.5 w/275-60's on the rear. I have 4.5" BS front and 5" BS rear. I have 2.5" drop spindles and 1" springs up front and air bags in the rear simulating a 5" spring drop.
I also used the wider 70-72 housing so that I could use the 5" BS instead of 4.5" (common BS for the 1.5" narrower 67-69 housing). I did this for looks to keep my hubcaps from being to far inset. Hope this helps. Posted via Mobile Device

One other question, pls. The wheels are from where? 5 lug? I thought they were Wheel Vintiques, but I tried looking but no luck. Pls point me to the right direction. Thanks again. Last edited by LEX; 03-23-2012 at 08:27 AM. |

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
They are 6 lug. I started with factory 16" Kelsey hays wheels that came on my pickup when new. The centers were riveted so I removed the rivets. Stockton Wheel put them in 17" hoops. I could have had a nice set of custom wheels for what the wheels and caps cost me in the end, but for me that wasn't the point.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I think the ratio of actual steelies so far is like 30%.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
This is my 69, it had a set of 22' bling rims on it when i got it and couldn't get them off fast enough! Unfortunately steel rims to suit are a bit tough to find here in Aus, but i was able to get a set of 60 something rims off a Buick.

I'd say you're right. The sport wheels are styled steel wheels (also). GM used "Styled Steel" as the name of the standard wheels,but it's really the generic description of those as well as others to follow. It seems "Steelies" became a thing of the past after the '91 R/V series. Now everything is some sort of styled steel or alloy.
