17 inch rims - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone got any pics of trucks running 17 inch rims. What size tyres are you using.

Ackattack · 08-27-2007, 01:56 PM

I'm running 275/50/17s on 17x8 wheels

I think the 50 aspect ratio looks good on these trucks, cause the much more common 40 aspect ration is too short of a sidewall for 17" rims on trucks and the 60 aspect ratio is a little too tall for my taste. Only 2 companies make the 50 aspect ratio in this width, Nitto and Falken. I'm running the Falkens.

17" stealth wheel. I'll have to look tonight when I get home for the size. I can't remember right off.

Should have been on by now but one's bent from the factory

Maybe this weekend I'll try to get 3 out of 4 mounted for you.

Yes it is and it's a lot better looking on a 305 HO TPI chevy truck than on a 5.0 Stang. in my opinion, don't you think!
Tires are

P255/60R-17's by the way.

I know this is not what you are looking for, but if you want to go a little taller this might fit the bill.

17X9 Centerline Eclipse's with 315/70/17's (35 inches tall)

combustion · 08-27-2007, 11:26 PM

Here's mine. 1995 Impala SS 17x9 wheels with P255/50ZR17 tires. They bolted right on with no adaptors, and don't rub at all.
