Think im going with 22s - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 08:14 PM

I know the stance is all off but im thinking 22s out back 20s up front. Eventually liwering it so the rear rims have a slight lip. Fronts just under fender line.

Andy4639 · 12-14-2013, 09:28 PM

I like it. Looks good.

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 10:48 PM

TY Andy! I feel dumb changong my mind everyday lol. I might just go 20s all around like this truck. Nastyc10s wheel tire combo looks nice too.

2500hd has a similar setup. Im going to photoshop chop them them on my truck.

cool68 · 12-14-2013, 11:13 PM

so, lots of info on big wheels and drops - but, what about brake upgrades to help the wheel look better than with tiny stock brakes, and to help stop all of the momentum the big wheels/ tires give?

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 11:28 PM

Brake upgrade needed indeed. My rear drums got to go eventually

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 11:36 PM

20s all around. It dont look bad

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 11:40 PM

The fronts should be fine right? If i go 20x8.5 and 20x10 should the front brakes be ok as is?

xfsketch · 12-14-2013, 11:48 PM

The above chop is based off
Front 20X8.5 Coys 5.25 inch bs Toyo 255/40/20
Rear 20X10 Coys 5.5 inch bs Toyo 295/40/40
4 5/6 drop

xfsketch · 12-15-2013, 12:21 AM

Front 20X8.5 boss 5.25 inch bs 255/40/20
Rear 20X9 boss 5.25 inch bs 295/40/40
4 5/6 drop

xfsketch · 12-15-2013, 12:24 AM

I heard i would have to grind down the hubs in the front to fit these wheels.

xfsketch · 12-15-2013, 12:47 AM

Yereka! I think i know what i want fer sure! Heres another persons ride i modified to have eagle alloys 20x8.5 front and 20x10 backs with 4/6 drop? What sized tires i dunno. But this is my end result i want my truck to look like this!

Artikgrau325is · 12-15-2013, 02:45 AM

I want to see 22's in the rear with a meaty sidewall, and 20's up front. Whole truck would be lowered, I'm just trying to set up a nice muscle truck thing I'm trying to picture in my mind haha.

xfsketch · 12-15-2013, 04:45 PM

I will chop one up with 22s on the back

Milestone67GMC · 12-27-2013, 02:20 AM

Hey!! My name is Michael, I am new to this forum.

I have a 67 GMC lwb that is lowered 5"s

I have just though this last week put 22" Caddy Rims on her all the way around.

22x10s to be exact
285x45 front
305x45 rear

I also at the same time put 1 1/4'' spacers in the front and 1 1/2'' in the rear.

the pictures are not the best i just took these.

68 Longbed Dan · 12-27-2013, 11:18 AM

Here's my two cents, take it for what it's worth :P

If you do 20's all around, get the truck as low as possible and make sure you have more meat on the rear. Otherwise, the sizes look different as the rear well looks larger with the truck sitting a bit higher in the rear.

OR... if the truck is static drop, I prefer seeing 20's up front and 22's out back. Just fills it out better (again, unless it's level).

Yea..... that's my...uh... "professional" opinion.... from a guy that works in the natural gas industry lol.

fastnotch89 · 12-27-2013, 07:32 PM

I ran 22's front and rear... 4/6 drop with a 1 1/2 block also

Looks great!!!!! How is it running 22" up front?

YBNORML · 12-28-2013, 01:43 AM

20/22 with a 6/7 drop. This how it sits with the roof on. When it's topless, which is 90% of the time, the tire to fender well space is even.

C10_ustacould · 12-28-2013, 02:02 AM

@YBNORML- I think you should just drop that beautiful Blazer off at my house! So sweet!!

It doesn't rub.. Rides great

69moneypit · 12-28-2013, 10:52 AM

Mines are 20 all around with a 3/5 . Soon to be replaced with bags and 22s. On pic passenger front was higher due to a problem with spring after oil change . Noticed it after I made it to a cruise in!!!!
