show your rims
Looking for ideas for new rims I have a 71 long bed c10. the truck has been dropped 2/3 but will be adding dropped 2.5 spindles before spring.
I am thinking of 15x10 inthe rear w/ 4.5 back space and a 15x7 w/3.5 for the front. thanks in advance, John |

Re: show your rims
Well I took the 15" off a long time ago. I ran 17" for several years then I bought the 20" all around and love them.
  15" rally  17"  20" Boss 338's

Re: show your rims
69 and older have a narrower rear axle than 70 to 72 so the look will be different depending on what year rear your running

Re: show your rims
Sneaky what is the backspace on your rear wheels I like the way they fill in the wheel wells. Also are you running a stock width71-72 axle.
70 cst I like the color combo on your truck. I tried to find that before I bought mine. The TT II's look good on that IMHO dropanddrag71 nice clean looking truck |
