My truck is an 84 C-10 with 5/7. The tires I ordered are Toyo Proxy.

255/40-20's up front on 8.5's w/5.25"BS will fit. The main concern will be rubbing the top of the inner wheel well on bumps/dips w/the 5" drop. Mine does on larger bumps in the road or smaller ones @ greater speeds but my front wheel/tire combo is < 27" tall; the 255/40-20 is 28" tall.

The 295/40-20's on 10" w/5.00"BS won't be a problem @ 7" drop.
