Personal choice,
Do a mild drop and give them a try.
If you don't like them pull them back off.

they are a dual bolt pattern , the other being 5x5 which will fit my 1983 Chevy Pickup. I paid $200 for the set and originally bought them for the chevy and then when I picked them up I realized the other bolt pattern was 5x5.5.

Yeh I kinda still like the fat 5 spoke originals instead of these, they are kinda busy and if I had all the chrome they would be a better fit.

the rear of my truck is dropped 2". and I am still thinking about the 2/5 drop but I use my truck to haul a trailer thats heavy and dropping it will not be good for that at all. Plus I still like to jump curbs and drive off the side of the highway when needed.

Sell the petals and keep the new chromes. You can easily sell the petals for 300-400 for the rims alone. Are you going to keep your tires or go with a different size?

I would keep the stockers they suit your truck. the other ones are too bling bling. a set of 07 rims would look sweet though!

Yeh thats why I have been hesitant about putting them on, they are too much especially since I have the whole silver/blacked out look going right now. I have another set of wheels that are 22" 22" wheels on ebay, but they are for 3/4 and 1 tons both Dodge and Chevy or H2's.

...and if they dont sell then I will seperate the set and keep the tires and maybe use them for some black center/polished lip 22's for my truck.
