Wheel Size Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bodad · 11-26-2002, 03:21 AM

I am about to do a drop job on my '70 SW. I am replacing the front crossmember and rear end from a '71 to get discs and 5 bolt. I am looking to lower the truck probably 3/5 with spindles and coils. My question is will this allow me to put 18" wheels on without any clearance problems or should I go with 17". Also, will there be any probs doing some occasional ski boat towing with that drop setup. If you have pics of this setup it would help as well. Thanks.
