Title: should i buy or not?
Post by: KoolerSL2 on December 29, 2008, 06:07:32 pm: looking at these wheels on craigslist.
http://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/969920907.html
called and were told they are 15 x 12 rear and 15 x 8 front and came off a 92 silverado.
im planning on driving up to buy them in the morning.
by the pic they look to have the 5.5 BS on the rears.
these should fit fine on my LWB shouldn't they?
also i know theres a few st louis locals here on the site, by chance to any of you might know the guy selling these wheels or the true condition of the wheels?
any help would be very apprecited.

Post by: KoolerSL2 on December 29, 2008, 06:20:07 pm: that's what I gotta do I guess. no one within a 150 mile radius has any set of wheels to fit these trucks. only ones I'm finding are 22 and bigger and I don't want anything that style.

What is your lowering kit comprised of. Im trying to identify mine, cause I bought it lowered and best I can tell is that its a belltech 3/5. my stance is similar, sorry, just wondering.

Post by: KoolerSL2 on January 05, 2009, 04:49:32 pm: no problem at all.
its a 3/4 kit. belltech spindles, Summit shackles and hangers out back.

Post by: treepete on January 06, 2009, 06:02:12 pm: ok thanks. I cant tell if I have aftermarket spindles at the moment. Ill have to take off the wheels, but I cant tell, cause this is my first truck of this kind and i dont know what a REGULAR spindle even looks like yet, lol.
thanks for your reply.
