Biggest size wheels for an 82' SWB

Men,

I am thinking about putting some new wheels an tires on my project 82'. What is the biggest size wheel that I will be able to fit on my truck? I plan on dropping the front 2" and the rear 4" when I get some more money. This may be awhile since I just found out my wife and I are expecting another baby....

Re: Biggest size wheels for an 82' SWB

You need to determine the biggest "tire" that will fit, and decide how much sidewall you want.
You "might" be able to fit a 24" wheel, but have to run a 25 series tire.
