What size tires you guys using on your rims? You guys go wider in back? I'll be getting tires tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be updating with pics tomorrow.

I decided to have a set of 15X8 rallies powder coated for my K10. Just need to get centers cleaned up and buy some trim rings.

^ re you going to strip the argent paint off the flange at the lug nuts? I highly suggest that.It's perfect chrome underneath and a great detail when getting away from original argent color. No need for argent there anymore

Might not see too well,but when my '90 Blazer was new,the first thing I did was powder coat the wheels and vent visors...and tint windows and go to 32/10.50 Michelins

Whitewalls or redline tires would look awesome on those flat black rallies.. Maybe 225/70/15 up front with 255/60/15 on the rear..

That is exactly my plan. I see that it is chrome beneath the argent gray. I messed with it a little bit, but haven't done them yet. I need a good way to strip off the paint. I have some Jasco paint and epoxy remover that I used to strip off a painted VIN tag, which worked great. I'm going to give that a try. You can see it in this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=563427&page=2 Any other suggestions?
