Does anyone have pictures of a truck with a 17/20 combination?????? I am planning on the basic 4 1/2 front, 6 rear drop with spindles/cut springs in front and flip axle in the rear. No bags. If you guys are right and I don't like it, I will use the 20 x 8 1/2's in the front and put 20 x 10's on the rear. It will be next summer before I am ready to bolt the wheels and tires on for good anyway.....LOL
I strongly suggest 20's all the way around. I had 18's/20's on my 74 & it looked better w/20's F/R. I chose the 18/20 combo because I could not fit tall enough (daily driver type) front rubber on a 20" wheel w/the amount of drop I had. Your mild front drop will be fine w/a 20" front.

If you're dead set on a staggered combo, I'd suggest 19's/20's (but 19's are limited & therefore pricy vs just 20's).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
