24s all around on a 67-72 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

abraham.hd · 02-24-2014, 10:18 PM

I was wondering if anyone has pics of a swb c10 on 24 billets all around.
I myself am not a big fan of the 22/24 wheels combo but that's pretty much what everyone goes by on them.
I wanted to do 24 inch billets but I think they will look to big in the front

BY THE WAY MY C10 WILL BE GETTING BAGGED, but I just wanted to have some ideas

abraham.hd · 02-25-2014, 07:02 AM

Bump.

magwakeenercew2jh · 02-25-2014, 03:44 PM

I wanted to go a little bigger. But I just couldn't seem to get the stance right.
Had some clearance problems, too.

No hijack...Just some jest.

**lolife99** · 02-25-2014, 04:13 PM

These are 24's and 26's.
But you have to be able to "tuck" them on rubberband size tires,... if it's not going to look Donkish.

If you don't like them, then don't do it.

And no, 22/24 combos are not what everyone is doing. The vast majority of trucks have either stock sized wheels or more modern 17-20" wheels. I'd say anything over 20 is a small percentage.

**Tom Vogel** · 02-26-2014, 09:54 AM

Seriously, it can be done right. But in order to have it look like rwades"s truck, it will not be cheap. Anything less, and it will look wrong. IMHO

67ctener · 02-26-2014, 12:01 PM

I'd imagine a great amount of work to make these fit but wow this is a gorgeous truck. It's more on the extreme side of things but works well for this

YBNORML · 02-26-2014, 02:50 PM

Cool another thread for big wheel haters to slam those who like them.

Before you decide to go with wheels this large, make sure you check into how much it costs to make them look right. It takes more than a simple bag job to tuck wheels this big and not look goofy. My shortbox runs 22/24's and I have close to $10,000 into making them tuck nicely.

abraham.hd · 02-26-2014, 08:33 PM

Thank you guys for the link, and I forgot that alot of ya aren't from Texas. Mostly everyone here is running that setup like this trucks

rwade · 02-26-2014, 09:53 PM

I'd say that $10,000 number is pretty close to correct. Maybe a little less. I've got about $4K just in Porterbuilt parts, plus wheel tub, trailing arm mods, etc, etc. it's not everyone's cup of sunshine, and that's ok. I like a lot of different trucks on here for different reasons. All good.

Yea man, first im doing my ls swap next month. Lq4 6.0 with 4l80 tranny, cam, stall, and f.b.o aswell

Fleetline Fever · 02-26-2014, 10:31 PM

24's are too big for these trucks. If you want a donk go buy one don't ruin one of these classic trucks with ridiculously large wagon wheels.

Hummmm.....

I:

....Like 'em all.
....Appreciate and understand the work it takes to innovate.
....Appreciate differences in artistry and engineering.
....Like (almost) anyone who likes the hobby.

Only my $.02.

Zukowner · 02-26-2014, 10:43 PM

Your truck is your truck and no one else's. Nice looking truck Rwade. Like you said, "I like a lot of different trucks on here for different reasons. But I don't like it when someone enforces their opinion on others!

Andy4639 · 02-26-2014, 11:04 PM

These trucks look good with stock wheels and any other wheel as long as they do the right things to the truck to make them work right. The trucks pictured from Texas look great with the 24" wheels. I love that tuck look and wished I had the money to perform it on mine.

It is very hard to make one of these model trucks look bad. It can be done and has been but for the most part they all look great.
The donk look is a totally differant kind of look and I don't think that is what he abraham.hd has in mind for his ride.
The Donks are what they are and it's not what most of us on here want are like.
In the end though it's your truck. Build it anyway you like sir.

abraham.hd · 02-26-2014, 11:30 PM

Thanks guys, and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
If I wanted a "donk" then I would of bought me a monte carlo and slapped some 30s.

rwade · 02-26-2014, 11:48 PM

Everyone's opinions are different, but mom said " if you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything". And before we go past this point, yeah I can take it, but someone's negative response won't change my mind on what I like. So, wrench on my friends!

I had a snappy response all ready, but you pretty much summed it all up.

I know it is not a SWB truck, but here are pictures of a customer's suburban that we set up with 24x9's in front and 24x15's in the rear. Not the best pictures, but hope it helps give you an idea.
