Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
When I bought my '72 it had OEM 6.5 x 16.5 wheels. I had the 9.75 x 16.5s with 33/12.50s and I think I already showed a picture. I tried to sell it back in '07 and wanted to keep the wheels,so I swapped the tires onto a set of 8.25 turbine-style wheels. Once those tires started checking I painted up a set of '80s GM 6" wheels with mounted 235/75-16s to get me by till I put the 6" lift on to fit the 37/12.50-16.5 Super Swampers mounted on 8.25 x 16.5 steelies . But now I have come to consider maybe not go so big and unload the wheels,tires,and suspension in favor of running a 2-4" lift with a set of 255/75-16s mounted on Accuride 7" steelies that I have. Last week I bolted them on. They fit,but I want it off the tires more (and original springs are tired). I think I've shown the 6" GM wheels on it already (painted white). I had bought these Accurides and tires for my '92 K3500 to get through the winter,so I painted them rallye wheel argent. I kinda like it,especially on an all white truck.
Here are pictures,skipping the aluminum wheels,through the years starting with the factory 6.5 x 16.5s:

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Almost ready for the summmer, wheels are 17" from http://www.wheelvintiques.com/ -they are 6-lugs.
There is also an 1" spacer on the rear wheels. |

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I've considered several changes to the cap.
1. Restore them and clear the heck out of them. 2. Restore them and repaint the red medium blue to match my burb.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 Anyone have pictures of these HRH Genies on their truck?? I'm looking to run 15x10s all the way around but I am second guessing it. I was wanting a deeper dish and don't see these as giving me that.. |
