That’s a great looking truck whether it’s original green or an older repaint. I have a 69 short step in it’s original paint, and one of the best things I did was 17” wheels. They can be tucked in so much further than whatever 15” rim you choose. I have 17 x 8’s on the front with 4.5” back space and 9’s on the rear with 5” backspace. 235 55 17 and 275 55 17 respectively.

The 17’s let you have a lower profile tire but keep the overall height in the 27”-29” range.

My truck is dropped 4.5” front and 7” rear. The back is a DJM flip kit and you just get however much you get. But there is NO way to get it down without rubbing if you go the 15x10 route.

Thanks man! Yea, its a repaint. I painted it wint Rustoleum thru a sprayer. It looked great for a while but now it looks about like it did before i pulled it out of the woods where i found it. Haha (ill try to find a pic of it from when i painted it)

And i do love the look of 17”s on these trucks. Ive seen some Wheel Vintiques ones that look like a rally but come in 17”s. But Ive always imagined this truck low (not slammed, just more “sporty” i guess) and with fat white letter tires on deep lipped rally wheels. And the tires i have on my 15x8’s have only about 1000 miles on them, so im planning on using them with whatever 10”s i get.


ps, the picture i put up is from about a month out from paint, 8 years ago

I really like the look of them on my fleetside. Of course the PO had horrible wheels on it when purchased...

So this is photoshopped, but i think im gonna go this route. I ordered these center caps already from ebay for about 25 bucks. Im gonna put som 1.5” spacers on it to widen it out, and i photoshopped a 3” lowering job on there too.

Whatta yall think?

Syclone,
Thank you for your post! Almost exactly what I have in my mind only the rallys will be painted and the truck a step side. I am looking at the moderate 2 1/2" and 4" drop as well.

What does everybody think about wheel spacers? Like the bolt on, 1 1/2” ones? I think theyll help me get the wheels out even with the fender instead of buying 15x10’s. Anybody had experience with them? Or an opinion?
