Colorado ZQ8 wheels
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.

Re: Colorado ZQ8 wheels
Great use of an oem wheel.
How thick of spacer did you have to use?

Re: Colorado ZQ8 wheels
I think they look good myself. And I think they guy climbing out of his car next to your truck approves too.

Re: Colorado ZQ8 wheels
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.

Re: Colorado ZQ8 wheels
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.

Re: Colorado ZQ8 wheels
Wheels look good. Nothing extreme about that rake. More like a mild rake.

Re: Colorado ZQ8 wheels
Probably going to do the block this weekend. It would look good to close that gap on the rear tire.

Re: Colorado ZQ8 wheels
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.
