Keep the rallys. Send two to Stockton wheel and widen them to 10 inches. Stock rings and centers with Goodrich TA radials.

Yeah, check out there site http://www.coyswheel.com/index2.html

Great looking wheel. Although I have heard a little about fitment issues. I'm not sure that that applies to square bodies.

87Lowrider · 10-29-2008, 11:27 PM

I like the way it sits!!

I've got 18" Eagles with BFGs all around now.. getting ready to replace them this weekend with 20s TT2 (I know, everybody has them, not 20s though)

Specs are below. /Ken

f.monroe · 10-29-2008, 11:53 PM

I had 18 inch TT2's on my tan truck . The black truck is running a Boyd Coddington Smoothie 2 in 17 inch diameter .

The 1st pic I'm running a 5/7 drop with 17's... and the other pic has 20's with a 6/8 drop. TTII's on both...

damn those boyds look slick!! kinda pricy im sure tho.. im curious on your tan truck f.monroe what did it run you for the 18''s they look perfect.
ive thought about widening the rallys i love the way they look and my rings and caps are mint but it seems like the trucks kinda boring with them no pop idk i can always put em back on lol

special70gmc · 10-30-2008, 05:28 PM

oo ps classic 87, your truck is what i wish mine could look like that thing is sweet

Thanks for the compliments . The Boyds werent too bad . That is why I went with the 17's . I have a friend that sells me the wheels at cost . As far as the 18's go . I bought the fronts from Classic87 with the tires on them . I then ordered the rear wheels through my buddy . I bought one rear tire new off Ebay at normal cost and the other tire was on Ebay , new , and was only $29 with a $25 shipping cost . It had a low opening bid and I was the only bidder . I tend to shop a bit for prices .
I would plan on a cost of $300 per wheel for 17 or 18 inch stuff and probably $400 plus a wheel on 20 inch stuff . The 18 inch tires are cheaper and easier to find the sizes you want than the 17 inch stuff . That is one thing I didnt know when I started the 17 inch set of Boyds . I do tend to like the 5 spoke wheels .

The tires are 255/55 front and 275/60 rear on both sets , just one set is 17 inch and one se is 18 inch . The 18 inch setup is one inch taller overall .

I forgot to mention that Summit Racing sells the 15x10 Rallys in the truck style . Jdurant has them on his blazer . They look good . When running Rallys , I always paint them the factory color silver . I think they look best like that . As far as billet or polished aluminum goes , Classic87's truck shows you just how good a white truck can look with the right wheel .

Classsic 87- u say you got a 6/8 drop? Is it bagged or anything? I want my truck low but dont got the money to bag it.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 10-30-2008, 10:33 PM

I was thinking some COYS or CRAGERS man. Either ones would look sweet. 18"s would look perfect under there.

CLASSIC87' · 10-31-2008, 01:33 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys... it's a 6/8 static drop.
