Re: Tires and stance

as long as you clear everything in the front you can go pretty wide. i have 265/50/r20's all the way around on mine with a 5.5in backspace on the wheels. i put a 1.5in spacer on the rear because most of the newer wheels are designed for newer trucks. i believe the tires are 11 or 11.5 inches wide and i clear everything no problem. hope this helps

Re: Tires and stance

Assuming your truck is a Fleetside, you can run a 10" wide wheel on the rear without any problems. I'm running 10x17's on the rear of a 5/7 dropped Stepside and it's a bit tight since the Stepsides don't have quite as much room as the Fleetsides.

Re: Tires and stance

I am running 17 by 10 in the rear of my fleetside. Big 30.5 tall tires are a super tight fit but look great stuffed under there. I an running 5.5 inch backspacing.

Re: Tires and stance

Would help if you advised on Fleet/Step Side bed.
In addition, how low are you? How low do you plan on going?

Re: Tires and stance

Nice ride! that is pretty much the setup that I am looking for, what are the exact sizes on the front and back tires, also do you have your build thread available or more pictures? that would be great!
