i have a 67 long bed. i plan on doing a 4.5 front and 5 in rear drop. i would like to go with 17 inch rims. i dont want to use airbags. what size wheel and backspacing and tires would fit without interference.

Mine is lowered 3.5/5. I'm running 17x8(4"bs) with 255/50/17 tires and 17x9.5(5.5"bs) with 275/55/17 tires. I also used 5/16" spacers on the rear. You can run as big as a 275/60,255/60/17 combo without rubbing.
