NTMD8R_SS Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Well i got bored this morning and decided to test fit the wheels (they have been sitting in my room for about 2 months now.) Here are acouple pics i snaped of the rear wheel. Here is a straight on side shot. I like . From a little angle. Check out the Jack looks safe huh . Now for the thing that has me alittle worried. Ok. So do ya think it will look retared whit the wheel sticking out like that? the front ones tuck, just the rear ones won't i would shortn the rear axle but am short of cash. Let me know, also i think pnblwz wheels sit like this and look good from the pics ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTMD8R_SS Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Yeah, i have 2 22x10"s whit 7.5" of backspacing (around a 2"lip) so i may throw those out back they will tuck, and have this one re hooped to a 22X8.5 and purchase the other one.

12'SROCK Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 yeah you should wait to either shorten your rear of change the off set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Here are 2 thing i can do. 1) rehoop theses to a 22X8.5 and order another one. Total around 1150. 2) order another wheel 22X10 whit 5.5" backspacing, and short the rear axle. Total around 1300. So i will most likely just rehoop theses and call it DONE.

04CHASE Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 how much to shorten your rear end? is you do shorten these wheels will be the only ones you can run and youll have to sell them with the truck when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what i was thinking, because ima run my stock ss wheels alot, theses will only be on when i enter shows and crusing. Ima just get them rehooped and save myself the headache, plus ima order the front ones to clear the upgraded z06 calipers.

I originally bought the 2) 22X10 whit 7.5" of backspacing, when i went to pick them up the guy had this extra rim (the one pictured) and told me give him an extra 100 dollar and i can take it too since it was the odd ball (wrong offset) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersub Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ah! that makes more sense.Some deals are just plain hard to walk away from,I do it all the time. If i could see what i spend in the rear view mirror before i actually do, i would have more toy's and less junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginab Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I agree with them. Buy wheels that fit them rims all good. It's worth it i tell ya. When you see them on your truck all nice. ________________________________________ Autopartswarehouse gives me what i need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
