97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
Truck came with them and tires were scuffed so went with a narrower 245 45 r20 but not really thrilled with the look. Truck has a Belltech 2/4 drop. I have been reading posts about mid 70’s rally wheels, 15X8, but seems there is grinding required on the lower control arm and possibly the caliper, which I don’t want to do. Suggestions appreciated and how do I turn the pics

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
Are you thinking about lowering it more? Or just changing the rims & tires?

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
I had a 90 GMC 20+years ago that was lowered about what you have. I had stock 8" rally's on it and didn't rub anything. I dunno what man. the kit was, possible with some grinding somewhere. But it's only 2", shouldn't have to do anything, that's not a lot. nice truck tho...

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
Yeah, cost prohibitive for sure. I am thinking mid 70’s Rally wheels without the wide trim rings.

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
I found 4 square body 15x8 rally wheels so going to sell the 20’s Found a thread to adapt the GMC centres as well. Probably going to go with 255 70r15’s.

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
I really like those old school rally's, agree on the wide trim rings, but I do think the smaller ones look sharpe!!

Sideways is better than the Australian way.
Upside down. |

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
You're welcome.
What is it about the paint you aren't happy with? Looks good in the pictures...

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
The picture does not show it but where I removed the body side trim, the paint came with it in places. I am not changing the colour as it reminds me of a torch red C5 convertible I once had.

Re: 97 regular cab short bed on 20’s
Replaced the front bumper last week with a new to me version without the trim. Bumper has a decal indicating 1994 and I had the inner brackets with it which was a good thing. After I installed on the ones that came with the truck, major gap on the passenger side. Could not bring it in with any adjustments. Had a look at the 94’s and the top mounting hole was at least 3/4” closer to the rad support, for lack of a better description, then the ones that came with the truck. Installed the 94’s and everything fits well. Food for thought and I thought 88-98 would be the same.
