Can't wait to see how they look...

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 01-07-2010, 10:32 AM

Just got a day off today to put them on the truck. Worked 130 hours last two weeks. Should have pics today....

68_chop_top · 01-07-2010, 11:07 AM

These wheels are the best. I love mine. I went with 17 x 8 all around with Goodyear Eagle GT II 255 65 17 for 4 wheel rotation.

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 01-07-2010, 02:39 PM

Here you go fellas sorry it took so long. Gonna order lowering springs next..hope you like...I like the 15x10 because of the deep look.

my67chevytruck · 01-07-2010, 02:41 PM

**70cst** · 01-07-2010, 02:45 PM

72BlckButy · 01-07-2010, 02:45 PM

Thanks for the comments. Need some advice on drop springs. Want it to look good but just want to use springs and drop shocks. What size spring back and front?

72BlckButy · 01-07-2010, 02:54 PM

That's a pretty good question.... do you have the specs on the wheels? BS especially.

With the front wheels being 15x10 you will not be able to go with a 4" drop, but as you mentioned above you are only wanting to run a "spring only" drop. The two drop that come to mind are a: 2/4 or a 3/5

The 2/4 should be a problem, but the 3/5 will depend on how wide of a stance the front wheels have and the tire height. We'd hate to see the tires bottom on on the fender inner/outer.

Trying to rember back space i know its i told them standard. The 2/4 should be ok i would think. I am not against changing tire height size either. I know a spring drop is simple and would make it look even better.

Backspace 3.75 just found papers.

70c10 · 01-07-2010, 08:42 PM

It means alot that you guys like it. It may be my truck but other opinions are valued.

68Stepbed · 01-08-2010, 05:21 PM

Looks Great!! I Also agree that a 2/4 drop would be just about perfect.

69GMCor70Chevy · 01-08-2010, 10:04 PM

I like the look of the 15x10's. A lot of wheel there to look at and enjoy.
