Lowering it is a major modification, so I don't know what else you mean.
Generally 4/6 is a good all around drop, that you can get away with for a driver.
Wheel size depends on the amount of drop.
Are you talking big as in diameter or width?
17's up to 20/22" combo's look good as to width, you can fit 8 in there, but, again how much drop...

well i mean as in all i want to do is put in the drop and not have to worry about the tires rubbing. i was thinking either a 4/6 drop or a 5/7

These where the wheels i was looking at

[turbotank]

That is a good question,what is the biggest tire size we can put on our trucks without rubbage or mods.

[LpStreetKing]

yea turbotank i would really like to know that also because whenever that time comes around i dont want to have to spend anymore than i have to

[Captkaos]

It depends on the amount of drop, size of the rim and the size of the tire, but in general, 28" tall and about 10" wide is all that will fit in front without cutting the inner fender.

[turbotank]

Are you sure???? cause according to my specs,my stock 235/75/15 tires are 28.87 inches in diameter.And those are only 15s!!! Now,that is not taking into account width of tire,but I would think that more diameter then 28 can get under there with no problem,just by visual,I would say at least 30.But I am far from an expert!!!!

[Captkaos]

Not with a 4" drop and stock inner fenders.

[turbotank]

Yeah,I would agree with that,not with a 4" drop,but stock I would think you could squeeze some pretty big tires in there.

[Captkaos]

LpStreetKing, wanted to know about drop and tire size.

Stock you can fit up to a 32" tall tire.

That truck looks sharp with the rally wheels, I'd do a 4/6 drop and call it a day.

Only because I just spent 2 hrs polishing wheels, They look great when clean but takes a lot of work to keep um clean.

[LpStreetKing]

yea restorob i was also thinking about that i was just thinking about keeping the setup i have now just drop the truck and paint the wheels i have now the same color as the truck i think it would look pretty badass like that also

[LpStreetKing]

yea kaptkaos i was thinking either 4/6 or 5/7 drop with either 20's or 22's i didnt want to go any bigger than that with some low profile tires

over on the 4x4 side they have a tire size guide for lifted trucks, maybe someone should make a lowered truck one

[LpStreetKing]

Yea that would be a pretty good idea but i wouldnt know how to do that
