17" wheels

Does any one have any pictures pf ther truck with 17" wheels on it. I have a 70 gmc shortbed that is droped 4.5" in the front and 4" on the rear. I was orignally thinking just some 15" steelies with drag radials (it has a 540hp ls3) but for how often it will see the track the crapy ride and handling of a set of stickys wouldnt be worth it. I'lle just get a set of slicks for the rear and put them on at the track.

Re: 17" wheels

I have 17's on my 64 Fleetside, and have never had a problem. I can't post a pic until I get home though.

front is dropped about 5, and I flipped the rear, so about 5 or so drop in the rear.
