New 18" Z71 Wheels Are On! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tony_SS · 07-26-2009, 12:25 AM

I got this idea for another member here so I went with it too..

Tires are 285/60-18 Coopers. Let me know what you all think of em!

ARAMP1 · 07-26-2009, 12:28 AM

Straight up AWESOME!!!!

baggedcten · 07-26-2009, 12:42 AM

i like them!!!! tires a little to thick tho!

72BlckButy · 07-26-2009, 01:10 AM

Nice work Tony, that looks killer!

Side note, drive that thing on over to the Midwest All Truck Nat's (check out the Missouri section of the board for more info, or pm me).

Do you have any issues (rubbing) or modifications in order to mount those wheels?

3r!c84 · 07-26-2009, 02:02 AM

i like the look
i wanted the 09 chevy tahoe 19 or 20s idk rims
but i think they are 6lug =(

Justins76 · 07-26-2009, 02:06 AM

Looks good. What width spacers are you using?

Just needs a tick more lift...

**Palf70Step** · 07-26-2009, 08:42 AM

Love the look!

dgas · 07-26-2009, 08:44 AM

Sweet, I am thinking of much the same thing. Are adapters or spacers needed?

Tony_SS · 07-26-2009, 11:00 AM

Here's where I got the adapters:
http://www.ezaccessory.com/

I do want to put HD springs up front for another 1" lift.. not sure how I can lift the back .. or if I even need to. But there isnt any rubbing at all.. they are 31.5" tall.

But the ride is really nice... it has a slight warble in the rear at about 45mph due to the adaptors I guess... but I rechecked all the torque and they held tight.

Nate - I will look you guys up

pokethesmot · 07-26-2009, 11:42 AM

i like this look soo much its looks like a brand new truck

flamingbig10 · 07-26-2009, 02:45 PM

looks nice, but what a bout a 50 series tire with a 2/4 drop

joe231 · 07-26-2009, 02:50 PM

Looks good...how about this

Tony_SS · 07-26-2009, 03:57 PM

eh.. 3" lift would be too much for me.. I'd need a step ladder to get my kid in!

And I don't think these wheels would look too good with a drop either.. I kinda like it jacked up and tough looking.

**scotts62** · 07-26-2009, 05:04 PM

Looks good! I like it

cochino12 · 07-26-2009, 05:29 PM

Those look great

Driveway Dreams · 07-26-2009, 06:53 PM

I am kinda on the fence here. They look really good with your truck. But I think they are one of these things that only works on certain trucks. Good job to you!

jrsmith_2010 · 07-26-2009, 09:51 PM

looks great!

I'm on the fence about them too... We'll see... they might end up in the for sale section.

JohnC · 07-27-2009, 09:16 AM

Looks awesome man!

The 3" lift wasn't too bad. I just didn't like it on my truck. The rear was just lifted with blocks.

xbanone · 07-28-2009, 01:54 AM

I think your truck looks awesome like that. It looks factory but unique. I vote keep them.

What is the lug pattern and back spacing on the wheels?

flamingbig10 · 07-28-2009, 02:45 PM

the bolt pattern is 6x5.5

Hoods69BadBowTie · 07-28-2009, 03:02 PM

Awesome looks pretty good from here. I also gotta agree and say I think the tires are a bit big in front but still looks great all the way around!

Thats what I thought, I see he used adapters and looked at the link but could not find the correct ones. I would like to do this myself.
