Rim ideas. help ?

Hey, we are building a 71 SWB and looking for pics so my son can see different custom rims to get an idea of what he would want. It will have a 2in. drop and we are running 87 front and rear end 5 lug pattern. Any info on rim size and tire size would really help as well.

Thanks in advance,
Bret & Seth

Re: Rim ideas. help ?

I really like the coys c-5 chrome rim...Offer 5x5 bolt pattern and a number of backspacing options...They are simlilar to AR Thorq Thrust(II or M), but w/ more backspacing options in chrome (somebody correct me if I am wrong)..Also these c-5 rims offer a pretty deep lip...I would will have a 3/5 drop w/ an 18" rim...This way I can keep a little rubber on the tire and fill up the wheel well...In my opinion, anything larger than 18's on a static drop truck looks odd to me (like its stiff or something)...Again, that IMO...
