Not LS but I need wheels for my 85 Silverado I need some help picking out a set of wheels and tires for my old Silverado. It's going to the paint shop in the next week or so to get a new white paintjob and a spray in bedliner so I need a nice set of wheels to set it off. I want to stay with some 15x8's but with a larger tire to fill the fenders up plus to give the truck more traction and better handling. It's a 2wd LWB fleetside. I don't want any really expensive wheels but if you guys know of some wheels that look great on these trucks let me know. Oh, and what is the biggest tire size I can run without rubbing?

There's a local guy around here with an 85 long bed, lowered on i think 16" TTII's. My uncle had a 70's stepside, with a radical chop top, lowered, and had 15" Cragars all around. That thing was an instant hot rod. I would stay with something old school like these, or even camaro and vette rally wheels look great on these.

I was looking at some classic II's but yeah something along the line of a cragar would be a good option but I wish I could find a picture of a truck like mine with them on there to be sure. This isn't like my camaro where I see tons of sweet cars on here with different types of wheels to choose from. Thanks man, I'll check out the cragars and see what I can find.

I'm bored at work so i did some cardomain browsing for ya.
Some Convo-Pros
Old School Cragars
15" TTII's, can be had for pretty cheap as well
The Camaro/Vette Rally's (my favorite)
And the cheap insert brand here wheels, which still look good on these trucks.

Man I love those Corvette Rally's, I think either those or the Torq Thrust are about the best looking wheels. Thanks for posting those pictures, man I looked around online for a while trying to find some pics but I was looking in all the wrong places. I'm going to look into the vette wheels and see what I can find.
