Hey I Got My New Wheels!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

texan1186 · 02-27-2005, 05:03 PM

Well i was able to take some pictures of my truck today with the new wheels and tires. The wheels got here on the 15th but it took us awhile to find some tires that matched. I had them put on friday but with the craptastic weather i couldnt take pics until today. Oh and the wheels are eagle 212's 20x8 in front and 20x9.5 in back. The tires are goodyear eagle hp ultra plus 255/35/20 in front and 295/40/20 in back. I think it looks pretty good.

texan1186 · 02-27-2005, 05:04 PM

Dirty Dan · 02-27-2005, 09:40 PM

I actually like the stance it has now.

texan1186 · 02-27-2005, 09:53 PM

i like how it sits right now too but maybe i'll bag it in a couple months who knows...i dont have photoshop so here is a quickie i did with paint..

phantom dually · 02-27-2005, 09:58 PM

Yeah looks much better IMO

odie82 · 02-27-2005, 11:15 PM

sweet truck tex, were did you get that grill?

Justins76 · 02-27-2005, 11:22 PM

Looks good!

BabyBlue · 02-27-2005, 11:31 PM

Wheels look great, a lot better than everyone else's torque thrust 2's..heh, just wondering but what color is that on your truck?

texan1186 · 02-28-2005, 12:53 AM

hey odie, the grille is from lmc i kinda like the stock grille better and
Babyblue the color is victory red

boxrodz · 03-01-2005, 03:49 AM

Yeah, it looks really good. Your 'chopped version looks really tight.

Do you know your BS specs? And do you think they'll tuck if you go lower?

Ric83 · 03-01-2005, 12:54 PM

Wow. Looks awesome!!

Slonaker · 03-01-2005, 01:09 PM

Nice truck. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with the "Dumbo Ears" mirrors. I like mine, and plan to keep them.

texan1186 · 03-01-2005, 03:06 PM

hey hotrodz i dont remember the backspacing on the wheels but will find out today at work and i took some pics to show that they will tuck if i do bag it. And about the dumbo mirrors, I dont particularly care for them and i'll probably put on the sport mirrors when we repaint it.

TIMSPEED · 03-01-2005, 06:39 PM

Nice wheels! I have the same ones, only in the 17" version.

PRUNEDA · 03-01-2005, 08:37 PM

Nice truck

**Boog** · 03-01-2005, 10:57 PM

Repaint? Aaaaack! Looks good as it is.

alpha_male0203 · 03-01-2005, 11:07 PM

Dont repaint it i like it how it is. It sits nice and i like the wheels.

boxrodz · 03-02-2005, 02:13 AM

Thanks for down-the-side pics, texan1186. Yeah, it looks like you're be able to tuck and roll. Aside from the BS specs inquiry, are your headlight bezels chrome? Would you elaborate? I've seen very few with chrome bezels. Thanks again.

texan1186 · 03-02-2005, 09:58 AM

yea my headlight bezels are chrome. i'm pretty sure we got them from lmc, but classic industries might have them.

boxrodz · 03-02-2005, 11:02 PM

Hey tex1186...
Were you able to get any numbers on the BS? If not, that's cool. Thanks for the info on the bezels. I've just wondered if they ever came stock on any of the early '80s trucks. I've seen standalone bezels where just the middle strip was chrome. I guess to match the chrome middle strip on the Chevy grilles, although I've never seen a chevy grille with a chrome strip.
