454ss wheels on a square - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mattcrp1 · 03-13-2013, 11:51 AM

Found a great deal on a set of rims with caps for 90's 454ss. Any one got pictures of a square with these rims? Preferably lowered shortbed fleet.

Thanks

I found one on Bing. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to use a 1 or 2" spacer to run them, otherwise they'll be sucked up in the fenders and sit too far inward. That may be why nobody uses them on squares.

Probably this.

We cut a set and made them into 15x8's. So there's a quantity of at least four out in the world somewhere...

I agree, my 454ss had them and I never liked them, only kept them because truck was original with 54k miles......never understood the interest in these.

Here's a set with chrome GMC center caps on my 97 Yukon.

They're not terrible, and the Astro/Safari center caps kinda look better IMO, but they are 15x7. Although I think Stockton and a couple other wheel builders will cut up whatever wheels you send them and put wider hoops on if you want to go that way.

Wheels America turned my 17x9's into 17x11's. Could only widen to the inside though which was fine really. .5" further out & they woulda stuck out past the quarter panels (1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA). And had them powder coated flat black but with a polished lip.
