The prostreet look.... especially with a car is a pretty BIG expense.... it's practically mandatory that the car be back-halfed with either a 4-link or ladder bar rear suspension.... narrowed rear, possibly a 9" in addition to a drivetrain to take adavantage of those monster tires. This is why so many are sill running narrow tires/rims.

Fortunately a prostreet look on a C10, especially with a trailing arm/coil spring rear can be achieved without all the "mods" mentioned above.

With proper choice of wheels (with correct backspacing) and tires some pretty beefy skins/rims can be run on a C10 without having to back-half.

But then.... if you're NOT willing to compromise and gotta have those 14" rims with 18 - 22" wide tires..... get out the sawsall & cutting torch and start "cutting/chopping ...... and find yourself a narrowed rearend.
