Anyone running a staggered wheel setup? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JaxsDad · 09-18-2012, 04:49 PM

I'm thinking of going to a staggered wheel set when I upgrade to disc brakes....
anyone have a 20" rear (275/40), 18" front combo (235/55)???

Trying to decide if staggered is the way to go, or maybe just 18's at all 4 corners with 245 or 255 tires...

Open for opinions and pictures with specs.....

member: Cuss in Custom's truck looks sweet with 18's on the front and 20's on the rear.
He posted pics and a wheel description in the static dropped picture thread at the top of the page.

It is a super sweet truck!

Mine are staggered but they aren't different diameters.
15x8 front 15x12 rear

different tire sizes look good but different rim sizes remind me of old steamrollers. just my cruddy opinion worth what you pay for it.

Tuck some 20's all the way around. Just run a little taller tire in the rear.

17 X 8.5 front 17 X 10.5 rear I have a 275 45 17 on the rear and have a good amount of room.. Where I live we have some great roads for driving on and did not want any thing to scrub.... Some set ups are way to close for anything I would run as hard turning would allow the tire to flex and hit the well.. I had Stockton build mine great rims poor customer service.. There is a old post on that but I waited a LONG time to get the wheels and then longer to get the correct rear wheels..

Opinions will vary greatly on this topic.. as I think bags are for grocerys...

but that is also why its so great to see all of the different approaches.. Its your truck build how you want it..
