Colorado ZQ8 wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mgkgmc · 11-19-2012, 11:08 AM

So I had a set of 18in. Colorado ZQ8 wheels laying around and I thought why not. I had just done a disk brake conversion and my steelies didn't not fit with the disks anymore. So I had some wheel spacers made and put these on for the time being till I save up money for some 20in wheels. Half of the people seem to like the modern look and the other half dont like it. But I thought Ill put it on here for you guys to take a look.

Great use of an oem wheel.
How thick of spacer did you have to use?

mgkgmc · 11-19-2012, 11:19 AM

Inch and quarter adaptor.

looks like a good mesh of a modern oe wheel on a nice driver old truck

GMCJOE · 11-19-2012, 12:12 PM

I think they look good myself. And I think they guy climbing out of his car next to your truck approves too.

Bert W · 11-19-2012, 01:20 PM

I like'em! They look right at home!

black_sheep454 · 11-19-2012, 01:41 PM

I like those alot.

mgkgmc · 11-19-2012, 01:51 PM

Colorado's use the same bolt pattern as full size Chevys so getting a adaptor was not to difficult. Now I'm looking for gmc center caps but they are really expensive through Chevy.

As a Colorado driver I like em. Great look to em

You should be able to trade the bowtie centers for GMC ones no probs

**CC69Rat** · 11-19-2012, 05:13 PM

Yeah man .. Looks Good! I like it. Never seen those on a 67-72 before.

mgkgmc · 11-19-2012, 05:28 PM

They look sweet. Leave them on.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-19-2012, 05:32 PM

They look good just lower the ass end of the truck though..

mgkgmc · 11-19-2012, 05:53 PM

Last pic the truck is jacked up. But yes I'm going to install a step notch. One thing at time. I kind of like that extreme raked look lol.

Here is a little better pic.

**special-K** · 11-19-2012, 09:08 PM

Wheels look good. Nothing extreme about that rake. More like a mild rake.

**CC69Rat** · 11-19-2012, 09:27 PM

1 in block maybe? I think it looks really sharp!

Posted via Mobile Device

mgkgmc · 11-19-2012, 09:34 PM

Probably going to do the block this weekend. It would look good to close that gap on the rear tire.

Andy4639 · 11-19-2012, 09:49 PM

Not bad at all. I like it! The rear is OK with me. If you ever want to haul something in the bed.
It's amazing how a stock wheel on one vehicle looks so cool on another.

**CC69Rat** · 11-19-2012, 09:52 PM

If you need some drop blocks, I have some new 1" billet ones I will sell you.
