largest I've seen is 22's... I think 22's even look to big. I wouldn't go with anything over a 20 inch wheel on these trucks personally.

I like some of the 17's I've seen, but not a fan of anything bigger. I don't think I've seen anything bigger than a 20 on any 67-72 that I can recall.

semis only run 22.5 wheels, 24s on these trucks would be ghetto as hell.

They actually do make a 26". I saw one at a show last year. They didn't even have a tire there, guy said the tire guys hadn't gotten him any to sell yet.

I think there was a add for 28 " rims in the new Street Trucks Zine. Definetly 26".

I like the 24" on the cars what else would you do with them ?

I got the feedback i needed and i guess i asked the wrong crowd.
I am building a truck to lay frame and was going to see if anyone else has done it with 24's. I have seen 22" and just wanted to go bigger.
Aslo 28" rims have been out for a while. Jerry Rice has the first set w/tires on a H2.

Since I needed to make another post

Geeze! Some one asks a question, then gets mad when people say their mind. This board is all for everyones project ideas. Your gonna slam your truck? Cool! We just gave you the low down on how the trucks will look with big rims... don't hate the player... hate the game!

Sorry ourselves, dude. We like the truck, not the wheels. They all work.

Steve Largent got jobbed.
Why didn't Jerry trade those rims for #80?
