Wrongo. It isnt mine. They are 22.5" 2 hole steelies shaved to 22" and painted black. Thats really all I know. I know the guy who did the air ride on it.

Steel wheels cannot be shaved down to 22" the way they do it is just stretch the 22" tire on the rim, the tires seem to hold up. I have seen quiet a few ppl running them.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'd like to see that. I ran auto shops before becoming a machinist. So I've see a few wheels and I just don't see how they could cut that much off a wheel. The wheel it self isn't a 1/2 in think, so how do they cut a 1/4 in off and it still be structurally sound?

They can and do, shave them down. There are many people that advertise doing it. Whether or not they start with some sort of special wheel or not I don't know, but they do it.

They mill down the aluminum wheels because the lip is so thick, Never heard of a steel wheel being done.

Ya, definitely not my style...switching to 1/2ton running gear seems pointless to me also, but I would tow with it. Some of these guys don't want the 8-lug stuff, right?

Isn't that not only illegal, but unsafe?

I havent been able to find a single person that will mill down a steel wheel! Trevor at tnwheelandtire wont even think about it and he has probably the most milling time out of anybody! He is working on getting some 22 inch steel hoops but, that will be a while! I would like to see a pic of the wheel up close. There isnt enough lip to shave on a steel wheel!!! If you take that much off, the tire will never set a bead!

I know, I don't even see how they would have gotten the tire on the wheel with out bending the wheel.:lol:

The picture is not showing up for me, so I might be missing somethign here?
But the point is to have a short bed truck, with room behind the seats for people or things.
Personally, I didn't set out with towing in mind, just wanted more room!

PS; I know you can get the room with a Suburban and better turning radius at that, but I (and I assume most the people doing this) want a truck with a bed.
