NEW rims/ tires, new wildwood brakes, new currie 9 inch

i just installed new 20 inch HRE wheels, tires, big wildwood brakes front and rear , new currie 9 inch w/detroit locker 35 spline axles, and hydroboost...
fronts are 295/35/20 tire on a 10 inch wide rim
rear is 29/15/20 on a 13.5 wide rim.
i was wondering if the fronts would fit with stock inner wheel tubs...seems ok so far

Looks good! You should tell us if the front tires rub the tubs. There are several variables involved like which A arms, spindle drop, spring drop and wheel offset you are running.
Nice truck!

Looks good but more importantly "that things got a Hemi!"
Don't think I've ever seen that in a C10.

Re: NEW rims/ tires, new wildwood brakes, new currie 9 inch

what's the width, wms to wms on that Currie 9"? Care to share any backspace specs on the wheels?

To help with your original question, I'm running a 19x9, 6" backspace in the front w/ a 275/35/19, a 5" front drop and stock inner fenders. Hasn't ever hit or rubbed the inners on my truck.

Re: NEW rims/ tires, new wildwood brakes, new currie 9 inch

I get why people do the big wheels, upgraded mods all around, and while I appreciate the time work and vision to get something like that done, its very seldom I would consider wanting a ride like that.

But (always a but), this truck really does if for me, maybe its the subtleness? Everything here works for me, excellent ride!

Are the bumpers painted silver? If so what silver is it?

What's transmission do you have backing that hemi up? I am not much a fan of the Ram, but I do like their 8 speed automatics.

Re: NEW rims/ tires, new wildwood brakes, new currie 9 inch

Nice Truck!!

For your question on the front tires, I run 275/45/20 on the front. No problems with turning left/right full lock. I do have an issue when running down the road an hitting dips where the right front rubs. However, the suspension is not good. Actually getting ready to change it all out. The guy I got the truck from lowered it about 4" in the front without a drop spindle.

Can you share some info on where you picked up the Currie rear end? What it's measurements are? I'm wanting to go with wider (12")) wheels in the back but am having trouble finding anything decent with the amount of back space needed. Swapping to a shorter rear end would solve that since the bed is already tubed about 14". Appreciate any info you can share.
