If the rear tire is over 28" tall, then @ 8" drop you will more than likely rub the top of the tubs. With 295/40/20's on 20x10's w/@ least 8" drop, mine rubbed & required raising the floor/tubs to clear.

Here's a shot of the pass side. . .....
Notice the bedfloor where it meets the bedside. It's now 3" above the lip of the bedside.

W/the tubs installed . . ....
You can see the tops of the tubs are now even w/the factory body line of the inner bedside. It's not really noticeable (just look @ a factory bed to see the 3" difference).

From the front . . ....
Here's another angle that shows both the top & bottom against the factory bodyline of the inner bedside. My plan was to use a spray in bedliner to help 'hide' the original lower bodyline. But, I'm kinda' anal so I might just section the inner bedside altogether to keep the lines as GM intended . . .... minus 3".

Question guys
on a 67-72 shortbox fleetside what would be the widest tire you could go with?, saying you drop it roughly 4 inchs from stock, using whatever back spacing required..I know a 295 fits know problem. |

Wow That's Frigging Nice Work ! I love the way you finished the floor. I understand the hours involved in doing that kind of work.

Oh ok! yeah cause my dad had 16.50' hoosiers on his truck, they didn't come close to rubbing the frame at all. I was just curious without tubbing it out,just a stock fleetside box, what size tire you figure would fit?, like 305 or maybe a 325?
Thanks |

Lowered 4"? . . ..... 325mm max on a 10" wheel. My guess is that would still want to buzz the outer wheel well lip.

406 SBC, I had a '69 fleet side that was lowered roughly 4 inches and I was running a 305 without rubbing. I don't remember if the rims were 10s or 12s (I am thinking 10s for some reason).
