Guys;

I searched for this information but couldn't find anything for my application.

I am looking for what others that have a SLAMMED 67-72 Stepside pickup are running for tire sizes. My truck is completely torn apart (frame-off) and I need to determine how big of a tire I can fit without modifying sheetmetal. My truck was lowered before the tear-down approximately 5" front/6" rear. I want to keep this look but with max rubber in the rear and average wide in the front. I don't want to run anything much wider than about 245 in the front. I was thinking something like 275/40R18 in the back on 9" wide rims with 4" backspace. In the front something like 245/45R18's on 7.5" wide rims.

Comments, opinions...pictures?!

Thanks,

Erik
