Is the ECE 4 - 6 drop too low? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all,
I currently have a 3.5 - 5 drop (2.5 spindle 1" coil/5 rear coil) set up ready to install on my truck. I thinking about running 20x8.5 front wheels (255/40/20 tires) and 20x9.5 (315/35/20tires) rears. I'm not looking to get too aggressive with the off set. Do you all think that a ECE 4-6 drop would put the truck so low that I may have tire rubbing or turning issues. I have an oppertunity to sell what I have now, but i'm not sure if I should. I'm aiming for a stance like the one pictured here. Throw in a picture if you are doing something like what i'm aiming for and a little advice if you can. Thanks.

You will be fine with that on the front as I have the equivalent size front tires but 285 60 17 in the rear. The tire might be a bit wide on the back if you have a stepside as I have 1/2 inch to the bed side on mine. Not sure if fleetside gives more room. I have a 4 6 drop as well.

It looks like you have good gas tanks clearance as well. I have the same tank set up.
