Which wheel would you choose? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

buckskins4ever · 02-16-2013, 10:57 PM

joesgreen: did you order a custom turn offset for the rear? I ordered my 20x8.5 and 20x10 yesterday. The offset on the 8.5 is 14mm, but had to get the rears from Ridler turned and shaved to make 20mm. could have gone with the AR Boss but like the quality of Ridler better.

I ususally like the gray/matte finish type, but your truck is kinda shiney.

I say go chrome.

BugzC10 · 02-26-2013, 03:58 PM

Did you drop er and put on the new wheels? What's the hold up....what to see the out come!

IMO if i had a purple truck they would be chrome, gray would look kinda dull on that color. theres really nothing else gray on your truck but you do do have chrome to bring out the wheels. in the end your truck your choice.

In the middle of the drop. Trust me i wish i was done but with work all the time.

Unless someone knows the cheapest place to get ridlers i am going to have to order them off ebay or get them from a wheel distributor when they come to piegon forge april 19-21.

I've had the truck lowered for about 10 years now. Im about 3-1/2" /5" drop.
Since it was only a spring drop, I'm seriously considering the ECE 4.5/6 drop kit.

I've already switch to 5x5 pattern & front/rear disc brakes. Just time to get the handling nailed down better.

My tires are 255/40/20 & 295/40/20

How about a side shot of your new shoes

Think you'll get any front or rear rubbing when you drop er further?

I don't think those wheels come in custom sizes. They're one piece wheels. You might have to run spacers. I ran a 18. Just got them in today

thinking bout set of 18" Chrome torque thrust not staggered what size width and backspacing would you guys think and size tires? thanks

**70cst** · 02-27-2013, 01:15 AM

I like them both

bricalabro · 02-27-2013, 08:23 AM

295/45/18 rear. 265/50/18 front. And as far as wheels. 18x10 3.5" backspace rear. 18x8 4" backspace front. This will give the rear a deep dish but will track the same as the front.

If you're willing to drive a couple hours to Knoxville, you could get a set at Performance Products. 865-689-4700. If you do wait until the Rod Run, you will need to call and make sure he brings a set. He usually only brings one set of 20's in truck patterns.

If you need any help finishing the drop, let me know. I might be able to hop over the mountain to help one Saturday.

**CC69Rat** · 02-27-2013, 09:54 AM

Don't mean to hijack, but mxerchris -- tell us more about the black truck brother. .. What's the plan? Do you have a build thread going? Beautiful truck! Just something about black with lower wood trim.

I like the Ridler wheels too, on topic I would do grey wheels. I think it would look cool with the purple color.

~Whitey~ · 02-27-2013, 10:19 AM

I think the grey would look really good against the color of your truck... but either way it's gonna look great.

big_al_71 · 02-27-2013, 10:35 AM

Gray

Have you talked to our Forum Vendors? They will work with you to get the best deal possible.

BTW= Put me down for gray....and 20's not 18's.
