You Oppinion Please....
 
Pro or Con is welcomed,

I'm planning on 5/7 possibly 5/8 static drop on my 72 C10. It will be a daily driver. I'm starting to see value in the Boss 338 wheel (If the hub was redesigned) So I'm contemplating :dig: 18x8 in the front and 20X10 in the rear. If you have any pics of a similar set up please post them so i can visualize it outside my head:crazy:

Thanks!

My '69 has a 5.5"/7.5" static drop,... but I'm not trying to turn those front wheels with an 18" rim.
(My 215/70-15's are only 26" tall up front)

With the right backspacing,... it's probably possible,... but you're going to lose your inner fenders.
A 4/6 drop might work better.

Back space on the front wheel is +2mm = just a bit over 4.5", i like the stance of both trucks, but since its a static drop i want to go as low as steering and suspension will allow.

Thanks for the pictures guys it really helps visualize things, Does any one have any pictures of truck with 18's up front and 20's in the rear?

If you're wanting to go as low as possible, I'd recommend just going with bags. Especially for a DD... I can say that with the 4.5/6 I have yet to bottom out as of yet.
