The wheels were 18 x 8. Funny story about the wheels. This was back in '96 when everyone was running 15 x 10 with low pro's, big wheels weren't even a thing yet. I originally ordered these wheels in a 17" which was the largest diameter you could get at the time. When i went to pick these up they had a set of 18" sitting on the showroom floor. So i ended up buying that set to put on the truck and sold the 17s for half what i paid for them.

Thanks. It's crazy how much the wheel scene has changed! I like the looks of 18's on this body style.

No kidding. Don't get me wrong I like a big wheel, but sometimes less is more.

I remember in Southern California , the late '80's, a friend was one of the 1st designers of the tall wheels... He pulled up at my friend's studio in a muscle car with 22" wheels. We thought the wheels were wagon wheels!!

It was Bruce Budnik.

That's cool. Now 22's are almost the norm these days.

Might have been about '92.....(?) a lot of custom car stuff going on back then in Orange County, Ca. Tough to keep track.
