Re: 20" Wheels

I put 20's with Toyo AT P275/60 Open Country tires on my 72 GMC 4x4 a couple months ago. I love the look and get lots of compliments on them. The truck handles great as well. I'll try to attach a pic for you.

Re: 20" Wheels

mocwon, do you have problems with your one piece windows? I have a set that I haven't put in yet and I am reading that they are pretty sloppy in the tracks. I like those wheels but I am going with chrome. I had your type on a 57 Chevy trk and there was to much polishing. Now that I sold the trk, there is some stuff call ZOOPS that is suppose to seal the wheels finish after polishing and maybe have to polish once a year if it is a daily driver.

I'll find out more about the one-piece glass when I start driving it. It seems fine rolling up and down but is looser than stock glass since the vertical support of the vent window is gone. I either drive with the glass up and AC on or the glass all the way down and the AC off so I don't think there will be a problem.

Yes, off of about a '92 as I recall. There are a bunch of folks on this board that did this mod before me.

Re: 20" Wheels

I'm thinking about adding 20's also, but could you please some info on the rim width you are using and tire size ? Backspacing info would be helpful too. Thanks
