16x10 8 lug steel wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey everyone, is anyone running a 10 inch wide steel wheel on a C20? I would love to drop my C20 and use the "stock" style 16x8's in the front, and I would love to go 10 wide on the rear. Any suggestions? I'm going to be using the mid 70's stock dog dishes.

I have run 9.75s with 12.50/33s mounted. But,I kept it a fully functional 3/4t...not lowered. I'm not sure they'd stuff into the wheel well.

I'm with Tim I don't see it happening without some work.
This is a K20 on Wheel Vintiques 16x8 with a 2" lift.

The C30 Longhorn has the 16.5X9.75 wheels as you can see they don't look like they would tuck very well without a custom offset.

OK, thanks for the replies guys. You're right, looking at those pics, even with shorter tires, they won't tuck.
