72 Chevy C 10 SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello folk, I picked up a 72 C10 SWB 2wd for 2500 and the restore is on. Engine a 350 rebuilt bored out over .30 with headers and dual exhaust. Few common small rust spots but nothing to really mention. The body is in dam near perfect shape tho. Just solid. Truck sounds like a beast. The interior is clean, newer carpet with not rust on the floor boards and a newer bench seat. The paint was still its original green color with really no flaws at all inside the cab. But the exterior paint needed completely redone. And thats in process now. By friday it should be shining something nice inside and out. On the search now for some nice old school with a new school touch rims. Does anyone know whats the biggest rim size you can go with? Im thinking about a 20x10 rim, but i want a nice thick truck style tire to fill up the wheel well. Any suggestions?
