"The wheels on the bus go round and round...."

Tire and wheel time.
I am a Chevy rally wheel nut and nothing else would do. Actually, there are other wheels that would have looked good but you couldn't get them in custom offsets. My first set of wheels were built by Early Wheel in Southern Cal. The fronts were 15x8 with a stock 4" backspacing. They fit perfect. The backs were 15x12 with a 6.5 backspacing. front tires are 275/60/15's and the backs started out as 29x15.5x15 Mickey Thompson sportsmans. You call Early Wheel and tell them what specs you want. The centers and rims are separate and they weld them in house. I was excited to put the 15.5 up agains the 31/10.5 that was on the truck. I painted the wheels "argent silver" which is correct for the Camaro/Corvette style rally wheels.
