If lowered 2.5 how wide a wheel.......
 

On a C10 LB if lowered 2.5 in the front how wide a wheel can I run with out rubbing the inner fender?

Re: If lowered 2.5 how wide a wheel.......
 

I know you can go 8" with no issues. I would guess 10" would probably work depending on the back spacing. You would probably run into interference with the lower control arm before the inner fenders became an issue.

I understand the back spacing on the 10" wheels is the same as on the 8" so the rub would most likely occur on the front side of the tire.

I'm running 8" rally wheels with 255/70/15 tires and 2.5" spindles. No rubbing.

Would you have the room to run a 10 inch wide rim without rubbing? Since the back spacing is the same the additional width will be on the outboard side of the tire.

I'm running a 275/50/R15 tire on a 15x9 rim on the front of mine with no problems with a 4" BS, front has a 4" drop

Wow that's a lot meats up front! Looks good!

Re: If lowered 2.5 how wide a wheel.......
 

Yes it will, I'm running 2.5" WC spindles and had 10" front rims with a 275/60/15 and the fender lip ate the tire up. I had to go to a 15x8" with a 255/60 to cure it, I think the 275 would work on a 8" rim, but I dont like the way they look on there so I went with the 255.

Thanks for the come back. I felt from the begining that 8's in front and 10's in back was the way to go. I want to do this once and once only. I like the Rally Wheel look so unless I can find someone who wants to split a set 8's and 10's I'll have to buy them individually. I'm planning a 2.5 drop in front and 4 in the rear. That is the drop Sloanaker is running on his and I like the look. Thanks all for your responses.

I plan to go with 10s on the back eventually, but my tires are almost new. I probably won't be doing it for a while. Its not like I have any traction problems with a stock 350. :)
