Re: Another 8 lug wheel thread
I am about to pull the trigger on some Detroit Steel Del Ray wheels in 18x8. I will be running a 275/65/18 tire which is about 32"x11".
These wheels are available in 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 4.75 BS. I am thinking the 4.5 BS is a reasonable safe bet to keep the tire tucked in a little bit. This is a fat tire but I do have a 2" front spring lift on the truck (2WD) Please sanity check this thinking or provide information on comprable wheel/tire setups if available

Re: Another 8 lug wheel thread
Finally received the center caps a couple weeks ago. She's a short bed now. Here are some pics. I haven't put the trim rings on yet because they are definitely going to scratch the powder coating. I'm almost certain I am going to put them on it just makes me bit nervous.
Front: 20x8 4.75" backspace 245/40/20 Rear: 20x11 8.5" backspace 315/35/20

I never updated this thread but I did buy the DSW Del Rays. Took about 8 weeks after the order and got them on 2 weeks ago. Tires are 275/65/18

Re: Another 8 lug wheel thread
Those DelRays look GREAT on the truck
(and not to hijack either, but Kev-O that truck looks amazing too. On my '68 C20 Utility, I stuck to basics (Wheel Vintique' (satin black) steelies, needed to order another (last Spring) and still waiting. I have a 50thAnn that I'll eventually get to, but still looking at wheel choices. Anyway, those DelRays look way cool

Re: Another 8 lug wheel thread
I've been going through the website and I agree that those del rays look great. Every once in a while you see something that looks like something that GM would make, but didn't. Pretty cool look.
