I'll try to find some pics for ya on the steppers. You can try a search for 72BLUZ. He has a 72 stepper with close to a 4/6 drop with 17x9.5" wheel with 275/50/17 tires.

Thanks it's greatly appreciated...also I found some steppers that I really like but I've got to go now and get ready for school....I'm only 17

I'll post them later though.

Nicoslam that truck is

very nice loving the green....

215 70 15's on 15 x 7 rallies up front. 275 60 15's on 15 x 8 rallies out back. 4/6 drop, and you have a perfect stance IMO.

These trucks have a 4/6 drop with 17's 255/60/17 and either 275/60/17 or 285/60/17 rear tires. The orange fleet belongs to member Shock_Me and the green stepper is his brother's.

After seeing these, I don't know if I want to go to 17s now... they're a couple of the nicest trucks I've ever seen in my opinion. And I'm thinking the TTIIs as well.

Anyone have any pics of that setup?

And I came across this one looking through one of the galleries. It was one that someone found at a carshow so there arent any specs...do those look like 17 or 18s?

David67 · 05-06-2010, 11:43 PM

I believe I now have a good idea of what my backspacing limits are. Now all I need is to make up my mind.

David67 · 05-10-2010, 08:44 PM

Anyone got any ideas about the truck above?

68Stepbed · 05-11-2010, 08:21 AM

The silver truck has 17's. That looks to be 17x7 and 17x8 combo, but unsure on tire sizes. Maybe 255/60/17 rear 225/??/17 front?

Yeah that's what I was thinking on the wheel size. I'm still not sure whether to do 17s or 18s with an ECE 4/6 drop. Anyone have any more pics? Just want to make sure I get it right.

72SWBChevy · 08-04-2010, 04:04 PM

Any updates on the wheel choice?

That was another concern of mine. It seems like it would be a VERY tight fit if the fender ended up being lower than the top of the tire... Does anyone know if it'll be able to clear?

Here's mine that has a mild drop. I got curious myself how the 96 Vette Grand Sport wheels would fit, so I measured and ordered a set of spacers. These rims are 17 x 9.5 all the way around and there are no issues, even when turning all the way.
