the ones from the pic on this thread i thinks its on the first page. a buddy of mine wants my 18s so i am geting the amercain racing rims from above. i told him 200 bucks for them because i dont want them. that paying fo rhte new rims so all i gotta do is get tires. where can i get good cheap tires off the internet. i know of tirerack but is there anywhere else since i know you like to look around alot jr. also is it a good idea to put a spacer on the rear alxes to bring the tires out alittle. i just want them to match the front. i figered 10 mm would be good on each side.

I would avoid wheel spacers like that.... but that is just me. a simple 1/2 turn up on both torsion bars will level it out and pull the front wheels in when you get it alligned... cheaper and safer in my opinion. plus it does not add any pressure to them so you are not sacfricing the ride quality. as for tires, I shop around and shop around, if you want a set of cheap tires to simply get you through until later, there are soooo many used tire shops around here in PA that that would be a way to go. I got a set of almost brand new Liberators for my Mazda in 31" because the guy who bought them new said they made too much road noise. I was there and basically got them right off of his ranger. Used tires run 20 a piece plus 2.50 to mount and balance... can't beat it! Shop around there and you may stumble accross a great deal... IMO...

Hey! i got a set of those on my bicycle! LOL

[87c10slammer]

k what are yours gonna look like jr. oh yeah and things are gonna happen sooner then expected. i just got 2 more cars to do some work 2. i swear when i need money it just comes to me lol.

I wish I had that problem! LOL.... these are the wheels I would love to get for mine...

but then as it turned out, they were not availible for my bolt pattern, everyother possible one, but not mine.... so i thought I would go with these...

But they are everywhere, and everyone seems to have them. So As I try to be different and hold on to a little style, (plus have a lower budget for rims then most) and I wanted to stick with the 15" size since I would rather have more rubber on the ground them rim, I think I am going to go with these...

Now that will only be with the small lift and some accesories I will do in the next month or two. In the spring, or so, when I can pull of my SAS, I will swap out both axles, and therefore gain a different bolt pattern, and then I am back to coice number 1 since that is what I wanted in the first place..... Make sense?

[87c10slammer]

why not just save the money and not get the rims untill you do the sas swap. this way youll be one step closer. plus alot of people have your final choice of rims also. i have them on my c10 and a buddy has them on his burban. they cam stock on alot of chevy trucks. they may not be american racing but they are pretty much the same. sorry if this sounds rude its just my 2 cents.

[junior3382]

I was thinking that too.... but if I hold off on the rims, then I will hold off on the little lift, and therefore be holding off on some much needed fun this fall! lol.... I will let you know.

[03chevy]

how about someting like this?

[junior3382]

I liked those too, and were in the running for mine, but they were not avail. in silver painted, only chrome, and I do not need that mcuh chrome myslef.... but to each their own... how about you 87?
