New shoes for my sweetheart - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BabyBlue · 09-20-2011, 06:19 PM

Well, I ordered the wheels last August and they showed up in a month along with the front tires, the rear tires ended up taking 6 months to come in but they were installed in July prior to my "welcome home". She rides a lot better and looks completely different, but this definitely set some wheels in motion for her next changes. I'll post more pictures when I get my computer home. Wheels are 18x8 and 20x10 Billet Specialties Soft-lip Ventec dishes with spinners. Tires are 245/45zr18's(I believe) and 305/40zr20's in Goodyear F 1's.

I agree that it doesn't look quite right on most 73-87 unless they are really low. I think that this being a stepside makes the difference. Regardless of why, it does look good...

What kind of Grill is that, did you just add the extra Chrome Trim?

The grill is actually a stock Silverado grill. I want to say you can get the chrome trim peices from both goodmark and lmc because I bought the same grill for my blazer that I had about 6 months ago.
