Wheel/tire size
Hey guys. Getting ready to order front wheels and tires. Anyone know factory sizes, backspaces? Or what you are running? Truck is a big block and lowered 4.5 inches in front.

Re: Wheel/tire size
You looking for factory sized wheels, or just as a reference point and going with something else?

Re: Wheel/tire size
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I should have noted I'm planning on running Weld draglites. I just didn't know what size to order. I'm thinking about a 6" width or so but didn't know the backspace.
