DropMember wheel backspacing. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

YBNORML · 11-11-2014, 02:44 PM

After quite a bit of thought I have decided to get rid of my Foose wheels. I have never been overly happy with them. They 22/24 and I have decided to go to 22's all the way around.

I want to make sure I get the backspacing perfect. I am hoping for 5-6" ride height.

Here are the suspension stats.

Front : DM. Version 1, 1" narrowed arms, slosh tubz.
Rear : DM extreme, 68' rear. Fleet side.
Truck currently has a bolt/on body drop kit as well, but I am probably gonna remove it.

From reading and reading and reading some more threads on here this is what I have come up with.

Front :22x8.5 / 5.5" BS. 255/35/22
Rear : 22x10 / 6" BS. 285/35/22

I would love to hear from guys with similar setups that have some driving time on their trucks. I plan on driving this truck ALOT

and if I am going to spend the money on new wheels I want to make sure they are perfect.

Shoot me an email and I will help get you figured out. Also, if you're looking at Intro's I can get you a decent price on them as we are a dealer.

I was gonna give this thread a couple of days to catch traction and if Nothing gets posted then I'll pm a few guys.

Nate said he should be able to get back to me soon as well.
