I like those truck rallies. UBT has some on a K5
OK, now that does look a lot better than I expected. The sunken center cap sells it 100%.

It's the FWD-looking heavy offset versions they're using on those retro "Blazers" that look.. like.. HOT. SALTED. DOOK!

Of course IMO the whole thing just looks off as can be. They did a great job on the '68 front clip look and then the rest of the truck is.. wow.. uh.. y'all can keep that :D

Yeah, those offsets are terrible. Really kills the whole look.
Freaking stupid wide track everything GMT800 and newer. I really want to static slam my SS and run a coilover conversion up front to dump the torsion bars, but I really don't want the drama of trying to tuck any kind of wheel with how wide of a track this thing has. I know plenty of people have done it but it just looks weird to me. Makes me think of the "stuffed" truck trend.

Looks like tighter clearances though which is what my concern is. I don't want to run OEM or OEM style repros of the late model wheels. I'm pretty sure these Centerline 22's I've got aren't going to work unless I go really narrow on the tires. Also my truck is torsion bar up front as the SS's are built on the 4x4 setup (even though my truck is rwd) so I don't know if that impacts front track width on the 800.

Clearances are way tighter. No liner and pulled/rolled/cut inner fender. Still rubs.
My neigbor has a 2wd SS like yours, we did drop spindles on it that came out good. He clears 24's.
