Came out great, I went with new silverado wheels of a 2016 that are chrome (look like mickey thompson wheels without the mickey thompson price). I did buy the same tires though, they look great on this style truck
I inherited a 1997 GMC K1500 SLT extra-cab from my dad. It had been sitting in a shop for years. It was very well taken care of,only has 135k miles on it and is very clean. I want to put new tires on it. What leveling kit did you use? Are any better or worse? I have seen the prices range from $60-$230. Do you get any tire rub with the original rims? Also, I have read new upper control arms are needed to prevent wear on steering / suspension components. Your thoughts? Also, outside of flushing all fluids what else would you recommend I do prior to regular driving? PS... Thanks for the great content. I am now a subscriber to your channel.
No leveling kit. I wouldn’t bother, you can crank the stock torsion keys if you want to raise the front. I wouldn’t recommend it, trucks look better with a rake. No rub with the original wheels. Start with flushing the fluids and go from there!
old beast with new shoes , how cool is that .
Man those turned out beautiful!!
Got the same rims and just love how they look.
Nice!! Turned out very cool. I really like the old school look of the white walls on the outside!
New to your channel. Binged watched this build
Congratulatios!
The new wheels and tire are beatiful!
Your truck looks great, best regards 👍🏼😎
I have the exact wheels on my 89 Z71 and been wanting to do this! So good!
Fits great!
33's on 16's? Love it thats what i want on my 1995 Chevy K1500! Actually already have that setup but want some BFG's on the original style wheels
Great vid!!!

Did you have to do any work outside of a leveling kit to fit the new wheels? What size of tires do you have?
Always enjoy your videos Suburban Ranch. What size were the BF's you put on your truck here in this video? Thanks

Where can I find a chart with the correct torque for the wheels? I do not have stock rims. Mine are 10.5 inches wide. Thanks!
I would use the stock torque setting
Do you know the best place to find a set of these rims?
eBay? Or junkyard.
Great video. I just did this on my 1990 GMC Z71. I am having trouble finding replacements for the center caps. Can I ask where you got new ones?
@Scott Williams Amazon. The title is misleading, but I did lots of research to confirm they were the same and they fit perfectly. a.co/d/gElt7KO
It says it’s currently unavailable. Do you have any second choices? Lol
They show iin stock for me, are you in the US?
I’m in Canada.
Not sure how I can change that

So you can run 33's on 16" rims with no leveling kit and still have no rub?

There is a guy up here who scraps the trucks removes the wheels and scraps for aluminum what a waste .
What was the cost?
@Karl Hungus About $300 per wheel
@@SuburbanRanch OK, thanks for the reply.
who would invest that much into stock rims? I guess if you are doing a full restoration.
@Robs Device Unknown We are going for a restoration with this build
