Josh292 · 07-15-2003, 09:58 PM

Josh292 · 07-15-2003, 10:00 PM

71 LONGBED

mtdave2 · 07-15-2003, 10:06 PM

depends on what look you are going for. me i think the ralleys look great. nice looking original.

my new 72 · 07-15-2003, 10:11 PM

Hell Yeah they would look good!! I would definately pick those up for cheap.

lux hauler · 07-15-2003, 10:12 PM

Those are nice wheels but I think they would look better on a dropped truck.
I don't like big wheels on stock suspension trucks.....but that's just my opinion.

BTW.......nice truck!!!

cochino12 · 07-15-2003, 10:19 PM

they would look awesome but I agree you have to put it in the weeds

Josh292 · 07-15-2003, 10:21 PM

I was planning on putting a 4/6 early classics drop

Tx Firefighter · 07-15-2003, 11:21 PM

Why would you care about anybody else's opinion?

It's your truck and your money, make yourself happy.

Wreck · 07-15-2003, 11:30 PM

do it man..mmmmmmmm 18s. you can get the wheels and later get the drop, just dont get rid of the rallys....those wheels are sic..I would love to have them.

rambler · 07-15-2003, 11:32 PM

How cheap is cheap?

Hotrod70C10 · 07-16-2003, 02:04 AM

I'll tell you what is cool IMO, Rally's!!

I don't think big wheels look right on these trucks unless it's scraping the frame on the pavement. But, that's just my opinion. By the way if you do much of this -->

then it tends to hurt the pocket on tires lol...

NSANE68!!! · 07-16-2003, 10:54 AM

UMMMMMMMMMMMMM, YEAH!

Make sure the offset is correct to tuck

Josh292 · 07-16-2003, 06:30 PM

backspacing in the front is 5 1/2 on an 8 inch wheel and 6 on a 9 1/2 inch wheel. I don't think they're going to fit without rubbing. is anybody using wheels with 5 1/2 backspacing and 6 in the rear

NSANE68!!! · 07-16-2003, 06:36 PM

Front 20x8.5 with a 4.5" backspace and they tuck fine

Class of 69 · 07-16-2003, 10:09 PM

If they are cheap...buy em, and try em!! If you don't like em you should be able to get your money back out of them. Beautiful truck!!! What are you using as a paint separator on the bottom?? I see no trim, but the line looks very straight! Could be a new trend coming here!
