Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
Since you asked for feedback on the wheels, the wheel itself is nice. The 15” size is very dated based on what most of the builds are doing today to fit bigger brakes and go-fast equipment. Everyone has an opinion on what they like or would do differently, so run what you like. Wheel/tire combos can dramatically change the look for you or the next guy.
Very nice work and colors on yours. I’m impressed with the speed at which you are moving. Looking forward to seeing it fully assembled. Don’t forget to put some black vinyl or carpet over that Fat Mat extending above the carpet at the firewall! |

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
I prefer a wheel in the 17" or 18" range. As you know though, it all depends on the look you are going for. I think they look nice.

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
Thanks for the input on wheel choice. I will be getting a set of 20's after it is put together, aligned and driving just have to figure out how much rim and tire I can get under the stock rear wheel opening, I had a 18 x 9.5 with 5.5 b.s and a 295/45 which has a section width of 11.7". The tire rubbed the inside wheel house edge but had decent had decent clearance on the outer bedside. I think I can get a 20 x 9.5 with 5.25 b.s. with a 255/45 which has a section width of 10". Just don't want to make a expensive mistake. Steve

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
More progress on my project. Got the front sheet metal wet sanded and rubbed. Install the front fenders, lights and grille. Still looking for a glass shop to put the front and rear window in. Have a shop that will do the alignment just have to figure out what specs to use. Steve
