Re: Pics of 15x10 vette style rallies on stepsides please!! Needing some inspiration!

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.
