Re: 66 Chevy C-20 tires.
Some great advice on what I'm looking for fellas. Thanks. I'm looking at finding some good used wheels here locally-no luck yet. Maybe have to look at new ones from Summit. Would I just search for any 70's or 80's 3/4 ton stock wheels? Will the holes and backspace be what I need? Denverslim

Re: 66 Chevy C-20 tires.
16" tires would be the most vintage looking from what I gather of your desires, but 17's are the the new standard.
Steel 17's are just as cheap new, and you have a wider selection of tires. This way you can run a 60 series for a more aggressive look or a 70 series to look stock. Most will have a high enough rating to do pretty much anything a C20 is capable of. Ram 2500 has a nice set of forged 5 spoke 17's that cool, and of course the PYO rims of GM. The pyo rims weigh 17 pounds each which is less then 1/2 the weight of Steel rims. Both those rims I am considering when if I change my steoside to C20 levels for bigger breaks. |

OE sizes were 6 - 7" depending on year & mfr. Going wider or different back spacing for wider wheels would be based on your needs. I did 8" rears for my 99 w/5" bs (the standard bs was 4").
