My opinion is heavy, ugly, not at all good for your truck.


The wheels don't fit 1% with the current setup or look of your truck. They aren't a trerrible wheel but they are probably as heavy as your steels.

I think the stagger look looks good if the differences is 1" only. Like 18 fronts and 19 backs. When you get anything bigger than that then it starts to look screwy.

Good, deal guys. I posted this for a reason and im getting sick of messing around with wheels, the opinions are greatly appriciated and will be takin in to consideration. Hummm humm. Alot of better options it seems with better sizes have been brought to light. I have some thinking to do. Does anyone have any examples of some of the setups you guys are talking about, picture wise on the 2000 and up body style gmc or chevy trucks with a similar drop?

Look at blownchevy's red rcsb truck. It's staggered wheels are 18-19 or 19-20, I forget. It's a little lowered too. Also the corvette ZR1 has 18-19" stagger too, etc...

Dont the vette wheels next an adapter due to the bolt pattern? Or does the adapter work well being staggered setting is all behind the hub and our trucks have fender space to add the adapter?

He's not saying run vette wheels.. He's saying that a 2" stagger looks goofy on a static truck.. If your bagged and tuckin wheel its one thing but a static truck showing the entire wheel looks goofy staggered..


Pick out some better looking wheels and get 22"s all around and it will look fine or even some 20s

Not saying get the ZR1 wheels, just given you ideas of what the 1" staggered looks like. Can't fit the 5 lugs ones unless you get new axles or spacers. Look at blownchevy's truck.

this is exactly what i was thinking, only time a staggered look is nice is 1'' difference. if you go 20s all around i say just use the bigger/wider tire in the back. IMO find some different wheels im not a fan
