Default Race Star 93 truck wheels for daily use?

What's up everybody? I drive a 2008 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab, I don't have a picture of it at the moment, it's been in the shop getting a new cam, DoD delete, lifters and springs and a tune. I was looking at Race Star's truck wheels and really like that look, but was wondering if they would do alright on a DD. Driving back and forth to work on the highway and what not? Also, what street tire options are available that would fill the wheel well really well with a 5/7 drop? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys! And pics of any setups like this would be a definite plus!

They look so damn good, I just want to make sure there's a street tire set up that'll work well on a daily driver. This is the only picture of these wheels on a nnbs ccsb I could find.

Yep that is the only pic i have found too... And its LOW lol... i think with a 2/4 or mild drop the gap would be too bad. But if you go 5/7 i think it would look great!

Yea, on a 2/4 they would definitely look too small. I'm definitely going 5/7 just trying to figure out the wheel and tire situation. Lol

With enough sidewall to cushion hitting potholes and highway debris those wheels should be fine.

Be sure to use the correct lug nuts per wheel spec.

They're a normal wheel. Just use a tire calculator to figure out the max height you can run depending on your drop. Plenty of people daily with them.
