nice truck 👍🏼

[@noah63nova14]

Thank you!

[@emmettsampey5046]

I know this is a older video but very informative. I got a your wheels are 22x14 106 mm bore and 76mm offset. Thats the same spec of my Hostile exile wheels on my k10. My truck came with 3" spacers and i hate spacers. Can i pull the spacers off and still use the factory length and diameter wheel studs? Or did you have to change wheel studs? Thanks

[@noah63nova14]

I left the rear studs but did install longer studs on the front.

[@emmettsampey5046]

@@noah63nova14 ok thanks👍🏼

[@noah63nova14]

If I remember correctly it’s a pain to find the studs that actually fit too. If I can find them I will post back on here for you.

[@emmettsampey5046]

@@noah63nova14 yea man do that, i want these spacers off my truck lol

[@ryanwilliams3369]

My k10 is A beater but I'm thinking stock height with 35s. And cut outs. Right I've got 275 70 r18 With zero offset and spacers. 3.5 in the back and 1.25 in front. And they're about flush. The rear is still in like an inch.

[@noah63nova14]

Nothing wrong with a beater!

Hey man I love your truck and I’m really glad I found this video because I’m 15 and have a 87 square body 2wd shortbed and I’ve been looking for lifts and tires to fit the lift I choose. I’m thinking about a 4 inch lift since it is a 2wd but I really appreciate this video because I have finally found the answers to some of my questions for lifts and tires

[@noah63nova14]

Thanks man I’m glad you like it! You may have trouble finding a lift for a 2wd but if you find one then go for it! And if you need and help or have any questions just let me know

[@jayswisher575]

Man I wanna put my 2wd c10 on 15x12 or 15x14 with like 31x12.50 on it at at stock height. Such a. Shame there’s no c10 lift kits

[@noah63nova14]

Nothing wrong with lowering, they are just as wicked!

[@miguelmerk14]

You think a super lift 8” would clear 14 wides and 37’s with or without a 2” wheel spacer on a 86 K10? Also could I add a leaf or stack a spacer to achieve 9-10” up front because I’ve only found 8” and 12” lifts and I really don’t want to do 12. I feel like there’d be more problems lol

[@noah63nova14]

Yeah you should be okay. The lift will most likely be pretty stiff when you first get it so that’ll help. If you aren’t running it off-road you should have no worries. Wouldn’t even need the add a leaf most likely

[@foodsatamp76]

Nice truck just wondering if you know the color code for your truck I have a 82 same color but don't know the color code it will be greatly appreciated

WA7470 is the light blue (21) WA7468 is the silver (17)

Ay man what wheels are those?

Those were hostile wheels. I don’t recall the exact model. I think last I tried to look they don’t make them anymore. That being said, they have a bunch of nice looking wheels

Oh okay buddy I see. I actually think they are different. I’d search around. There are plenty of good shock companies that sell front and rear

[@Mcseverythingoutdoors]

Truck is sweet, wheels ruin it wouldn’t leave the driveway like that.

[@noah63nova14]

To each their own. If you check out my page you’ll see I’ve tried out many different sets of wheels. Next sets going to be a beadlock setup.

[@shannonlove6156]

What’s the offset

[@noah63nova14]

It’s -76 on my 14 wides. But the offset refers to where the hub is in relation to the center of the wheel.

[@DutchDangle]

Beautiful truck but those wheels are a minus. Just my opinion not an attack. 👍

[@noah63nova14]

No offense taken! I’ve had all kinds of different wheels on the truck. Old school, new school, swampers, all terrains. Etc. just like trying different stuff out

[@noah63nova14]

Unless you plan to run extremely wide wheels, you should be good to go! Rough country sits a little higher than normal.

[@CrankAddict]

That truck reminds me of my suburban.

[@noah63nova14]

Sweet!

[@frankvadon5873]

How did you get the wheel on the front to fit over the hub did you bore the wheel I need to know because I have wheels that has the center at 3 inches and my hub is 3 and a half inches any help would help

[@noah63nova14]

Had to make sure when I purchased wheels that they had the larger hub bore

[@rigorosales9016]

Did u use a spacer? How big is youre bore on youre rim?

[@noah63nova14]

No spacers. The bore is like 106mm on the wheels and fits well. Just have to be cognizant when looking for wheels to ensure they are large enough hub bore

[@MegaBlizzard911]

What's the offsets on those wheels in photo -60???

[@noah63nova14]

-76

[@tonywallen7589]

Positive offset means the wheel is more “tucked” into the wheel well or hidden. There’s more back spacing. So are you saying big wheels are more likely to rub with positive offset or negative offset (i.e. set wider out)?

[@noah63nova14]

More likely to rub with negative offset. Positive offset with a 10 wide or less wheel is going to tuck. All truly wide wheels are going to have negative offset therefore causing more fitment issues.

[@andrewwilkinson7119]

Are the tires 12.5 wide on a 14 rim?

[@noah63nova14]

Yes the wheels in the video are

[@Hellbilly_De_Lux]

What brand of lift is on this truck also is it an all spring lift or blocks?

[@noah63nova14]

Not sure was on the truck when I got it. Just an old 6in suspension. All spring up front. 4in block in the rear.

[@lspaul13]

Daily?

[@noah63nova14]

Are you asking if it’s my daily? It has been before but not at the moment no

[@ryanpeter9501]

Good day I just bought a 1987 k15 at stock height. How big of tires can I go with no lift? It has 31/10.5/15r on it now and still has lots of room in the wheel wells. I was thinking of bfg ko2's in 33/12.5/15r any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey I was wondering what would be the best wheel and tire setup for a 4 inch lift, I have a 1985 gmc 3500 dually but I’m converting it to a single wheel and I’m only 15 and I get confused on the whole wheels and tires catagory, but I want some wheels and tires like yours

[@noah63nova14]

Duallys are sweet but if you’re set on swapping to single wheel then the video still applies. With a 4in on a k30 you should be okay with 33s and wide wheels

[@NickDmax]

@@noah63nova14 awesome thanks man

[@NickDmax]

@@noah63nova14 Also do you think 22x14 with 37’s would fit

[@noah63nova14]

22x14s on 37s with only 4in of lift will scrub, just all depends on what’s acceptable to you. If you’re only on the street you may be okay. If you don’t mind pushing fenders in a little or cutting them you’re also still good.

[@SirRollAlot24]

Is this a 4inch or 6inch lift?

@@noah63nova14 could i fit 35’s on a 4inch lift

[@noah63nova14]

Depends on your rim width and offset. Also depends on what your plans are with the truck. Others have definitely done it. If it’s going to be on pavement all the time and a narrow rim it should be fine. But if it’s going to go off-road or the wheels are wider I would definitely go down in tire size or up in lift. I prefer 33s even with a 6in lift. But I like wider wheels and to be able to go off-road
