How will my K5/truck look with xx" tires on xx" of lift?

Its my current never ending project........still have alot of little things to button up until I get a little extra dough for some tube bumpers and bigger tires, gears, etc. Yanked the axles and front springs out of a 1980ish k30 srw.
 
Front:
4" Tuff Country springs
ORD zero rates
Axle moved forward 1"
Dana 44

Rear:
DIY4X Shackle flip
ORD zero rates
Axle moved backwards 1"
14 Bolt Full Floater

36" TSL SX Swampers
No trimming yet.

Those wheels look great! :bow: If they made those hub caps for a wheel different from 16.5," I'd LOVE to have wheels look like that.

They made thousands upon thousands of 16" steel wheels just like those that work with those exact hub caps.

I also saw in a catalog I got from Classicparts.com that they are available (aftermarket at least) for a 15" wheel as well. :dunno:
 
Yeah, GM also made them in 15", but they are half ton six lug wheels. They also use a slightly smaller, but very similar looking hub cab. They have 5 chrome "spokes" instead of the 6 a three quarter ton or one ton will have.

Ima have to look into these for my rally wheels :thumb:

Sorry for the hijack :whistle:
 
Cool! Maybe some day I'll run a set then. Of course, it now looks like 16" wheels are getting phased out for the off-road tires.
 
:haha: It may look clean in the pics, but it is not. The drivers box side is fubar'd and there is bondo all over it. It looks ok if you step back 10 or so feet though :D. Being my picky, always caring about how it looks self, i'll try to keep it nice looking when I have to trim.
