I say 20's.

boatpuller · 01-29-2009, 12:07 PM

i like rallies.....20's are great if they tuck right.if not they look "donkish".crawdad,tvblzers.n2trux,,classic87 and other's pulled it off nicely with 20's or 22's.but they gotta tuck.

jchav62 · 01-29-2009, 01:05 PM

I vote Rallys... They are both cool, I'm just a little more old school...I agree with boatpuller on avoiding the 'donk' look, make sure those dubs tuck right.

Oh yeah, replace the trim insert on the side windows with black...

heavychevy79 · 01-29-2009, 02:08 PM

If those wheel companys were smart they would allready be making 17"-20"
Rally wheel reproductions. But I guess they would cost as much as those big
Camaro rallys.

Cheap 5 lug to 6 lug adapters, so we could run late model wheels is what I
think would be neat.

They have 17" rallys out already.....

I vote for 20s

The lca'a are about 1.5 off the ground, I figured if I ordered new wheels with the right backspace and tire size I wouldnt have any problems?

I really like the American Racing Ansen Sprints, and you can get them in 17" sizes.

thanks but the body work looks pretty bad under the paint still, I am going to start doing the body work myself next winter and get it repainted. the paint/body on this thing has been a total nightmare.

I actually have the trim in the garage just havent been motivated to get it done yet. Now that I got the stereo is installed I'll get that and a couple other things done.

I think I'll end up ordering new wheels, 18" or 20". I really dont want to spend the money on it but I cant keep it the way it is because the control arms drag over EVERYTHING. Maybe I can just swap the 295's for 275's and then replace the 3" coil in the front for a 2" ?

Make sure the BS is correct and go for the 20's!

Truck rallys or Camaro rallys? I know about the bigger 5 on 5 BP Camaro/Corvette rallys, I was talking about a larger version of these, but not just a bigger 16" rim lip like Stockton makes over the old center.

How come the mopar guys get more repro wheels than we do?

hotrodhomi · 01-30-2009, 02:56 AM

if you are spending that much, why not bag it?

flamingbig10 · 01-30-2009, 02:59 AM

I would keep the rally's and get taller coil springs

You know I havent priced a set of bags in a couple years, but it's got to cost more than a set of wheels tires right? guess I have some more homework to do

That may be my only option but I will have to add taller rear tires also

Wow, I was just on the suicide doors website looking for pricing! I may have to consider that instead. I cant believe how much cheaper stuff is now

andrewmp6 · 01-30-2009, 04:13 PM

I'm not a big fan of 20s i would go 17s maybe 18s but its your truck do whatever makes you happy.
