Hummer H2 wheels / 265/70/17 tires mounted...

$150 ebay Hummer H2 wheels, $150 (for 4) used-but-good Goodyear Wrangler RT/S on my '77 C20. Yes, I know the tires aren't LT-rated, but this truck is rarely gonna haul anything...they'll do for now. Man, it makes the rest of the truck look extra ugly! I think the tire size was just about perfect for what I wanted. I do have the new 2500 hubcaps, but I don't know if I'm going to run them or not.

Wheels look good. I say throw on those hub caps, but then you're really gonna have to update the truck. Good job.

I'm gonna get some new fenders, fix the hood, doors, rockers, and bed. Wanna help? Everything I know about bodywork will fit on the head of a pin. But, I'm willing to learn. I'm not looking for show quality, just some decent white paint.

It doesn't take too much to do that. It's all bolt on stuff. Now getting it to be all white is another story. I would be will to bet you would be surprised at how well you might do if you take your time and try painting it yourself.....

BTW- Now that you have the H2 wheels, I say lift it a little and put pre-runner bumpers on it....
