Title: 17" wheels
Post by: kinada on December 29, 2013, 12:51:57 pm: Is there anyone on here running 17s? My shortbed c10 has 15x10 steels with 295/50s that have gotta go. Those 10" wide wheels on the front are too wide :o. Well they will be when I drop the truck in the new year. I was thinking of going to a 17x8 front and a 17x10 rear.

Is anybody using similar sizes??

The rears are a 4"custom back space. The fronts are off the shelf. I bought them 12 years ago from my brothers shop. The tires are 275/60-17's
