NICE!!

did you convert to 6 lug or use adapters?

I was thinking about these on my 80 and converting to 6 lugs....dunno how the back spacing would work though....

but I found some different wheels I'm picking up next month.....

ksbrktracer · 07-26-2009, 04:27 PM

silvrbreez · 07-29-2009, 09:00 AM

Didn't catch that. I think I kinda like it that way.

JohnC · 07-30-2009, 08:10 AM

That does look kind of cool. I didn't catch it either.

watahyahknow · 07-30-2009, 09:59 AM

menace121978 · 07-30-2009, 10:15 AM

good eye funk! i really like that... ive been back here to look at that at least 5 or 6 times!

**N2TRUX** · 07-30-2009, 06:43 PM

Anyone have the article handy on the yellow and white Hills/LMC truck? I looked at Hill's site and it doesn't have the press coverage any more.

I am curious what size tires it has on it. I'm pretty sure those posted are 22's but need the tire size.

StrokinRat · 07-30-2009, 08:17 PM

Hey N2trux. I happen to have the street truck mag that it was first featured in sitting beside me. The rims are 20 inch Billet Specialties Vintec Dish. As far as what size the rubber is, it doesnt say. Hope that helps

StrokinRat · 07-30-2009, 08:59 PM

I found the rubber size in the new street truck mag. There Falken p255-35-zr20 on front and back.

ratty 46 · 07-31-2009, 10:05 PM

I wanted to know a bit more so I pm'd him. I hope you don't mind me answering:

"its been lowered front and rear,axle flip in the rear,cut 1 coil out of the front springs with 3'' drop spindles i bought off ebay.rally wheels all around,10s in the back with 295/50s and 8s in the front with 255/60s,bfs all around as well" jasonblinn

I have one that started as a stepper & still is but I really dug the look.

**N2TRUX** · 07-31-2009, 07:00 PM

Well I guess I blew that theory. I know the wheels that the truck had on it in the eraly pics are 20's, but I would have sworn the Vintec's were 22's.
