tryin to decide...20's or 22's

[Famous Tater]

22's...8's and 10's. Fit perfect! Mild drop for now. Going lower eventually.

is the backspacing what gives the rear wheel that deep dish look? or is that just the style of wheel? that is the look im goin for, and im thinkin in a 20. most pics have just the rear wheel with this deep dish look, any reason for that?

From what i understand the backspacing is what gives you that deep dish look if you don't want to have really big wide tires. And you would have to cut your bed if you go with big back tires. If you do much back space on it though you will have to cut the rear end down a little but defiantly gives you a nice look. Heres a pic of my truck with 20s

Thanks man

20x10 Zero offset. I like the larger sidewalls with the 20's (275x45x20) All around. Mine's on bags so I can change the stance.

Here is mine on 20x8.5/20x10 and bagged.




Just made the upgrade from 15" moons.

Thank you! I have a small C notch to install on mine. Plan on doing a 4/6 static drop or close to that. Beautiful truck. Love both your wheel choices. Sorry for the hijack on thread.

Ive narrowed it down to 20's because I know they will give me the look im goin for with the 4 6 drop thats already on the truck. Now I need to find out what works and what doesnt as far as extra modification and fitment. saw a thread that says the 338's have some fitment issues in the front? I really like the 338, coy, torque thrust 2 look alot, especially with a nice deep lip in the rear. wouldnt you know I see a pic of some 20's that I fell in love with, and they wound up being billet specialties hiboys which are a pretty penny lol cant afford them but something to look forward too maybe

[Mattys1970C-10]

also, my truck has a 4 6 drop, but the back sits a little higher than the front, and I want to get it to sit totally flat, like Original-71's truck. how do i get the back of the truck down a little?

[Bennett68C10]

You can add a drop block to the rear to bring it down some. I'm pretty sure you can get them anywhere from 1/2" to 2". You can get the 338's to fit with some grinding of the hubs but if your looking for a big lip in the rear the 338's won't really get what you want. The Coys do have a nice lip and but their customer service is left to be desired. The TT II's are a classic for a reason, they look awesome on everything and you can order them in any backspacing you want. Just another option Billet Specialties makes a wheel called the Mag. They look similar to TT II's but have a rolled lip instead of a step lip. They are priced cheaper then Billets because they have a cast center. I included a pic of the Mag. Good luck with the search.

not the best pics right now but my 20's

[502ms]

FYI, I have the new 338s, and they fixed that problem. That is what is on my truck now. See above pics

[chevjayfsd]

20x8.5/20x10. If I went 22 I'd have to lay frame, for my own personal preference.

[69lsxc10]

22s

69lsxc10, Is your truck bagged, or static drop? If static can you give me some info on the drop. Very nice by the way

[rwade]

I'm so untechnically savvy, I copy and pasted the picture but all that appeared was the link. Can someone explain how to do that.

Thanks, wade

[use2bnlp]

Do them both 20x8.5 front and 22x9.5 outback

[King Cary]

The 22's look great 69lsxc10, nice stance.. What size tires are you running? I've been tossing around which way to go myself (22's or 24's). The 22's look great but not too many wide rear tire sizes and the 24's when tucked correctly can't be beat. It's hard not to stare at rwade's truck and not drool... Lol

[King Cary]

use2bnlp - nice stance on your truck also, are you bagged or static dropped? Also looks like you chopped one down from long to short. Awesome job.

If you like the Stilettos then check out the Daggers by BS. Same design just with a cast center so much cheaper.
