Got the new wheels on yesterday and really like em. Now I just gotta pick a color combo out of the 3 on my truck








Black and Gold

Blue on Blue

Blue on Silver

 

IDK...I like that black and gold...

 

black and gold hands down not seen to often

 

Did you mount them with spacers or just get acorn 60 deg seat lugs?

 

I say black and gold too.

 

Black and Gold all the way!! And I retract my previous statement, those wheels look really good on the truck. Im curious to know how you mounted em too and if they would work on a 2wd...

 

I like the black and gold, never seen that combo before.

 

black & gold
diggin' the 3rd gen rims

 

either black and gold or go blue/silver but reverse it to how it is on the cab and fenders. Have the stripe of sliver with the blue top/bottom. Would that be silver on blue?
I think the 3rd gen rims look sharp too.

 

If you go black and gold you have to put the gold bird on the hood..Smokey and bandit edition 1st-gen..Ezra

 

When I first put the wheels on I just slapped em on and tried drivin around the block but soon realized that that wasn't gonnja work as the was a clearance issue with the tie rod ends. So I just stuck some 1/8 thick washers on the studs between the hub and the wheel and gained just enough clearance for them to clear. I'm still gonna get some spacers to get the right look, the fronts are still tucked just a little to much for my taste also I am gonna upgrade to 9/16 Chevy studs on the front an the use 2nd gen nuts so I can utilize the center caps. The wheels sit right where I want them on the rear though because of the extra width of the D80

I'm not sure how they would fit a 2wd

Ever since I stuck that bed on there I've kinda been leaning towards the Black and Gold but.........

 

Wouldn't I have to have a gold goat painted on the hood

 

Here's my 3rd gen wheels with hub caps. I used 1.5" spacers to make em fit, and they fit just so that the lockout sticks through the holes i cut in the caps.

Here they are with 315/70R17 Yohohamas.


I personally like blue, but I do like that black and gold because there aren't many like it. I wonder what that blue would look like in place of the black next to the gold? I think i would try that.

 

What size tires are on your rims, and how much lift do you have?

 

Thanks for the pics schamran I was just about to send you a PM to see if you had any close up pics of the front cap

Do you have any down the side shots or under the center cap shots?

How did you machine your caps?

I am running 4" Rancho gasser leaves up front and a custom built by me leaf pack in the rear and I hate to say the stock block stack on a 4" block, but not for to long(I just scored some factory 6 inchers) so total lift in rear is around 7" it was saggin real bad when I got it. From the ground to center of wheel arch is 40" front and 42" in the rear and I'm runnin 315-70-17 BFG AT KO's

BTW sweet ride ya got




How would this interior work with B&G
