Thinking about new rims for the 85, what do you think??
« on: December 18, 2010, 05:37:32 pm »
They are advertised as zero offset, 9 inches wide 17" rims.  Looking for input?

Those have a nice classic look to them. Those ones like 78 Chevyrado just put on his truck would look pretty awesome on yours too.

9" wide rims are to wide for 265 tires

9 inch wide is fine for a 265. I like the rims you got but if you must swap.

I think they look close to the factory alloy wheels. Good choice!

I am waiting on a picture for another ebayer guy who has the american racing but the holes are smaller and they are 8 inches wide which is a better fit IMO + $100 less expensive.  His auction uses a standard 5 lug as a picture.  I am hoping the OEM 2007 chrome center caps would look great with them.
