- What's going on guys?
Fuller here, with Junior from Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on the YouTube
because you keep telling us to stop saying the,
but I'm gonna keep doing it anyway.
So we got a episode of What Fits for ya
and this time we're doing
- 89 to 98 OBS K1500 Chevrolets.
- So, you may be wondering, how do we know
what fits these trucks because we don't have one here
so we can't just show you, but we do have the gallery
on the web site, customoffsets.com/gallery.
It's got like 50,000 trucks in it.
We pull all the data from there.
Yeah, over 50,000 now.
That is how we know what fits on there so if you're
looking to figure out what fits your truck,
you can go through that, spend a couple hours on there
and fall in love with the web site,
or you can watch this ten minute video
and we'll tell you exactly what fits.
- Either option works for us.
So we're gonna go over small lifts--
- We're gonna go over leveling kit, small lift, big lift.
- So, on a leveling kit OBS trucks
will fit 9 wide, negative 12 offset width, 33 by 11.5,
which is like a 295/55 of something around there.
- Yeah, that's what most people are putting in,
is the metric size, but if you don't understand the metric
sizes, the web site will also automatically convert that
for you, so if you just scroll down on the gallery page
and it says 295/55, it will show you
that it means 33 by 11.5ish, around there.
- Around there. - Around there.
It will give you the calculations.
- Hey, Fuller, why did I say 9 wide
and not give a specific diameter?
- Well, Junior, that's because the diameter
doesn't impact your fitment nearly as much,
actually, it doesn't impact it as any, it's just
the width and the offset and you're tire size that do.
- [Junior] Well, I'll be.
- [Fuller] 'Cause if you have a 15 by 9, negative 12,
and a 20 by nine, negative 12, they're gonna stick out
the exact same amount so it doesn't change anything.
- [Junior] Wow, Fuller, thank you very much
for that insightful information.
- No problem, Junior, glad I could help.
Should we move on to the next lift?
- Let's move on. - Okay.
- So, next up is our small lifts, which we pulled the data
from the gallery and the most common small lift
is a four inch suspension lift, not like a block
and a leveling kit, or anything weird like that.
It's a four inch suspension kit and they're
running a 10 wide, negative 24 offset and a 33, 12.5.
- [Fuller] So, on these older trucks, you actually
can run that 33 on the four inch,
where the guys on the newer trucks, you put a 33 on there,
you're going to be doing a lot more trimming.
All of what we do in this video is based off of minor
plastic trimming, so on the newer trucks you gotta get
in there with a hammer and start smashing stuff out
if you're running 33s on a just a 10 wide
with just a four inch, but on here you can
fit those 33s, no problemo, on a 10 wide, negative 24s.
- [Junior] So the other thing is that we take all this
with minor plastic trimming, but a lot of these guys,
because these are older trucks, people will take them
and they'll run like a 35 on their 10 wides or something
like that, a bigger tire, and do more metal trimming.
Just because it's an older truck, it's not a brand new
truck that you feel bad about hacking up and everything
like that, so people will run more aggressive set-ups
on these styles, and you'll see that in the gallery
if you look, because they're not afraid to
do a little metal trimming on a truck that's 20 years old.
- [Fuller] Or it's rusty and the
metal's not even there anymore.
So on the large lift, what everybody's running is basically
six inch, as far as what the gallery says, and everybody
is running the 12 wide, negative 44s with 35s.
- [Junior] Which, like we've said before with the Fords,
it's exactly what you wanna see on these OBS trucks.
Because the fact that wheel wells,
- [Together] Six inch, 12 wides, 35s.
It's the perfect set-up, it's what everybody wants
and it looks good no matter what.
You don't need to go huge lift, wheels, tires
to stand out on the road, all you need is that six inch.
With these trucks, what are these 89s and 98s, $2,000?
- [Fuller] Yeah, even in good condition,
you can pick one up for two grand.
It's not gonna be perfect, but.
- [Junior] Rough country suspension lift kit's $1,000.
- [Fuller] A thousand bucks.
- [Junior] You can pick up a set of 12 wides
and 35s for another $2,000.
- [Fuller] Yeah, it's probably two grand.
- [Junior] Be like five grand and total.
- [Fuller] You can completely transform how the truck looks.
- [Junior] Total, you go from nothing to a fully built
truck that looks amazing, well, it might have some rust
on it if you live up here in Wisconsin,
but it'll look good and you'll turn heads
on the road for five grand total, done.
Okay, so now we're gonna pick our wild truck
and when we're looking through the gallery, we're looking
through over 50,000 trucks to bring all this info to you,
and we're bound to come by one or two vehicles that
kind of stand out and they're a little bit outside
of the norm, whether they're lowered on 16 wides,
or 20 million inches in the air, not on like 54s.
- Which is a lot of inches.
- So, we've got a 97 K1500 on stock suspension.
Guess what he's got on for wheels and tires.
- Stock suspension, he's gotta have 15s
with a 265/55 on there. - Ha!
How 'bout 14 wides and 35s? - What?
I mean, I knew that it wasn't
running stock, obviously, but that's crazy.
- [Junior] Yeah, so he's running mud tires, 12.5 wide
mud tires on a 14 wide XD Riot, so he's stretching
mud tires on his stock, I'm sure he
may have turned up the keys, I would hope so.
- [Fuller] Is that a step side?
- [Junior] It is a step side.
- [Fuller] Man, it's been a while.
- [Junior] On the XT Riot, so the XT Riot is a new style
wheel, obviously, with that lip and everything like that,
but it feel like it's more styled or a lot
of the older trucks can run it.
- [Fuller] Yeah, it kind of fits,
the older truck pretty decent.
- [Junior] It's discontinued now.
- [Fuller] I actually like that color combo,
that blue with the chrome and then the chrome wheels
just blended in together, like smoked headlights on it.
Pretty sharp looking truck.
- [Junior] It rubs, and there's still metal trimming.
- [Fuller] Oh, of course it does.
- [Junior] And it still rubs, but that's what it's gonna do.
You did it, and that's pretty rowdy.
- So if you're looking to find out what fits your vehicle
head on out to customoffsets.com/gallery.
That's where, as I mentioned, you can check out
over 50,000 trucks to see exactly what fits
and then if you do have custom wheels, you can
add them straight to the gallery, customoffets.com/add.
- That's all we got for you this week.
