wheel?

[Dads69C10]

I know this topic has been beat to death but I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any HELP!!
That being said, I want American Racing TTII's for my 69 Stepside, I have all the parts for a 3.5/5" drop and i cant decide what size wheels i want. Im considering 17",18", and maybe even 20".
Can somebody please post some pics and include drop and wheel size.
What is the widest wheel i can use without any cutting? Any advice on tire brand?
Thanks for any input

The first 2 trucks are runnig a 4/6 drop with 17x8/17x9.5 TTII's 255/60/17-275/60/17 tires.

The truck in the last two pics are SactoJim's truck. He also has a 4/6 drop with 18x8/18x9.5 Vintecs with 255/50/18-275/55/18 tires

I'll try to find more pics later, but alot of guys with 17's run 17x8 front with 255/50/17, 17x9.5(10) with 275/50/17 tires

Heres my 72 GMC Short/Fleet with a 5.5/6 Drop.
I'm running Front 215/70/15...... Rear 275/60/15

I originally was going to go with 20" in Back/18" in Front.
My Wife said I should leave it as is, and after posting a similar thread (with a Poll Question), I decided to stick with my 15" Ralley Wheels and save myself $2-3K. I'll put THAT money into a GM Crate engine since mines getting tired.
Just my .02 cents worth.

Man, you have one NICE, BAD A$$ truck!!!

I agree with you Roger. Ever since i saw Dazed and Confused ive been looking for a 72 short fleetside(Black of course). WHEN i find it and buy it. I will absolutely run 15" Ralleys. No question

However, i cant get the idea of some TTII's for my stepside out of my head.
Thanks for the photos

My PERSONAL OPINION is that TT'II's are a Dime a Dozen.
A lot of people have them, and I'm like.........
"Oh that's nice Truck", but it doesn't really stand out for me.

Its more like the "Status Quo" and what I'd EXPECT to see.

(just MY .02 cents worth).

(and THANK YOU for the compliment. Means a TON to me)!

Roger, I just noticed how your exhaust kicks out right in front of your tires. That looks tough!
