should i buy or not?
« 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.

If they were on a 92 Chevy they will be 5x5 if the truck was 4x2.

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.

sorry to change the subject, but I think its on-topic a little.
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.

 thanks for your reply.

Those Welds would have looked hot, but the wheels you got look good too.
