Looks good all around and much better on the back. I've always hated how the wheels sit so far in on the back axle of Chevys.

Not a fan of the big wheels, but I must admit that setup looks good.

I don't like the big wheels with no sidewall but with his still having a good sidewall I think it looks good :)

That is exactly what I was thinking. No sidewall looks lame. At least with his setup he should gain a little better mileage depending on the gearing, and the ride quality may improve too.

Hello Im a new member and have a wheel question. This seemed close to my question. My truck is an 85 GMC 3/4 2x4 8lug. Will wheels like the OEM ones in the first post work on an 85 2X4 with 8 lug? I have a set of 2002 wheels with tires I can get cheep but no returns. The truck I have seems tp have 88-98 Oem silver steel wheels already on the rear.
