Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I can't remember the back spacing at the moment but I plan on rotating my tires in the next few days, so I will measure then and get back to you. The "75" is just my fat fingers hitting the 7 instead of the 1. Should be "15".

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Hey, Jim-Bob. Well, as usual my absent mind got me. I rotated the tires a few days ago and forgot to check of course. Lol. So I went back out, pulled a wheel just now. The wheels are 15x8 with 3.5" back spacing. Hope that helps.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
You should probably do everyone a favor and let us know the details on that killer setup you have there.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Lol! I think some are getting tired of seeing me post my setup. Static 5/4 drop (guessing since I bought it that way) with spindles and springs up front and springs out back. Wheels are from circleracing.com– 17's all around, 9.5" front and 11" rears with 4.25" and 5.5" backspacing and Nitto 555 tires. Added a rear sway bar from CCP and a quick ratio streering box from AGR Performance. It stays level and I run out of horsepower before traction as I still have the stock 350 with 114K miles.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Well it looks great and nice to see astatic dropped truck in general. Seems like everything is bagged and siting on the floor. That's not my cup of my tea. A nice, simple and effective setup like yours is great.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Thanks. I just bought the truck in October and as far as I know, the PO cut the springs all around. Now the shocks are trashed and it rides like a bouncy castle...

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Here's my 1970 C20 running 16X7's with 265/75/16. I have a 2 inch spacers on the front springs. Thinking about taking them out to get the stock rake.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
3 things,
1, I am surprised by how many people like the steel rims as much as I do 2, I am surprised that as many trucks I have seen on this forum I have only seen one person do what I am planning to do on my truck paint scheme wise (they used different colors than I would have though), and 3, I am amazed that I haven't put the blue knight on this board as long as I have been following it, so here she is in all her unrestored glory. Might be trading her off soon though. |

Interested to hear what this paint scheme is, have any links or pics of the other member with the paint scheme you are referring to?
