Re: Show off your Wheels

On a lowered truck do you have a problem using 17's or 18" wheels?

Re: Show off your Wheels

I certainly hope not! We are only in the mock up phase right now, but a lot of guys are running 18's up front and are doing fine.

Re: Show off your Wheels

American Racing Outlaw II wheels. 15x7 front, 15x10 rear. Truck had 15x10 wheels on all four corners when I got it, with big fat 235x60 tires. Wanted the old school look so just bought two 15x7 wheels for the front and big and little tires. Didn't cost a lot, and helped with the rubber rake.... Plenty of rubber for those hole shots in the rear, and small footprint up front helps with the slow speed steering. (Just kiddin, about the hole shots, I just cruise this old girl!!)

I have a chance to pick up some 18" wheels what size tires would most recommend on a 49? It won't be bagged.

Re: Show off your Wheels

My Howard Knapp truck was an old farm/ranch truck (1952/53 1 ton Chevy truck)....so are his wheels...stock 15" off of a 1967 Chevy truck...I am not much of a guy to spend money on nice wheels...all I care is are they round and do they hold air...



they do both...cool wheel huh?....cost me $100.00 for all 4...

Re: Show off your Wheels

Where did you get the chrome cetner cap and lugs from? I have a 1957 with the same rims and want to do the same thing. What size are the center caps? THanks.
