Yes, they definitely make them. If you look back a page or two, you'll see them installed on a blue '72 longbed. The regional distributor I talked to a few weeks ago had no idea why they aren't listed on the website but believes it's just an oversight as they are definitely available and in the ordering system.

I know you guys are anxious, so here's the update...

I just got home from the Eagle Alloys sales office, the orders that were in by Thursday 3PM have been submit to Eagle for fulfillment. They are working on filling the order today, and they are expected to be ready for shipment by mid next week. When I make it back over there I'll submit the next batch of orders, and that batch will consist of the orders received after the cut off yesterday through the cut off this next Thursday.

Here's a picture I snapped at the warehouse on my phone of the eagle warehouse...

what would be the ideal tire sizes for the staggered 20's? whats the biggest tire I can fit on the rear and what looks the best?

[Sublvr72]

depends on if you are stock height, lowered, or bagged

[Wildstreak]

its stock height right now, but i should be ordering the ece 4/6 drop in the next week or so...or I might do a cheap bagging, not sure what I wanna do. I think bagging maybe more expensive right now.

Here's a black one with the grey. Use your imagination ... or Photoshop.

I'm also interested in what size tires are best for a bagged application. I'm leaning towards 20" wheels. Thanks in advance.

Fronts 245/40/20=27.7in
OR
*Front 245/45/20=28.7in

*Rear 295/40/20=29.5in

This* is what I plan to run on my bagged Blazer if I can get MY boss to O.K. a purchase.

[DZL1]

Thanks for the info! Now time to look for tire prices and my bosses approval as well.

Everything you need to know is in the first post in this thread.

I'm gonna do a 245/45/20 front, and try my best to sqeeze a 315/35/20 in the rear.....

Both Tires.
Side wall: 4.3 inch
Height: 28.7 inch

Its a pet peeve of mine to have the same side wall on tires.

If you are lowering your truck, not sure if you can without massaging fenders or mini tub. Hopefully other guys can tell you.

I would think you wouldn't have issues with mini tubs.

I hope not, but I'm not goin to order tires til I fit the wheels to the truck.... Keeping my fingers crossed.

Ok. got it now... last question. I'm going 18's and i thought 10s in the rear but i dont see an option for that so i guess its the 9.5 but can you go 18x9.5 all the way around and if so, anyone have a pic of this set-up?

No 18x10s, no. Here's a post about an '83 with 18x9.5 all around with links to pics:

thanks!


Scratching my head.. i think the deep dish on the front doesnt look so good so now i'm thinking 18x8" (8.5" would be nice) on the front, i just want to make sure the wheels are as far to the fender lip as possible, imo when the fronts are set in it doesnt look right.
