Hello all

[Government cheese]

Hello from Atlanta ga. Thanks for letting me join the site. I’m sure I will have lots of questions as I continue playing with these trucks, so thanks in advance. Here is my project
“GOVERNMENT CHEESE”
88 c1500 305/700r4 rcsb.
I’m going to basically just do a sort of patina work truck thing. Being that it was a Dekalb co. school truck. kinda wanna do a NASCAR ish thing as in 15x10 or so rims on 275/60-15s with the fender flares and a tailgate spoiler.

I love input and am not easily offended if you don’t like something, one man’s trash etc etc. I’m currently looking at wheels to stick out of the fenders to the fender flares. If anyone owns this silver truck this is what I’m looking for info on. Thanks again

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome! What a distinctive truck!
Watch out for those fender flares, they can promote rust if you let them trap water against the fender.

A 10" wheel is more akin to a 295, care to take it that far?

Like everyone else I’m super cheap. Well let’s say thrifty? I have 275/60-15’s sitting in the basement. I’ve owned multiple cars with rear 10” and 275 on it and looked ok . This will be a all look no guts truck currently. I can pick up a set of 15x10s new for $65ea or so and the flares appear to be like $129. I guess my bigger question is what offset/back spacing would I be looking for?

Different story if you're not buying stuff. I can't answer the backspacing question though, I'm 4wd.
