Re: Staggered
Why the 17x11 up front?
What tire size are you considering on this desired 17x11? My old '74 was ~6" front drop & the front had 18x8's/5.25"bs/245/45-18's @ 26.7" tall (1st image). With stock a-arms & inner wheel wells it cleared things fine but would make contact w/the a-arm lip on any tight turns. Same '74, same drop, but then w/20x8.5" Coys/5.25"bs/255/40-20's @ 28" tall tires up front would scrub the top of the inner wells @ <10mph on public roads. Same a-arm contact possibility & not drivable w/the tire height.... Your linked C10 w/the 22x11's indicated 265/40-22's (which yield 30" of tire height) & a 5" front drop...... If my 20's w/28" tall combo rubbed (with stock length Bilstein front shocks & relocated upper shock brackets for proper travel), that linked truck must not have inner wells, has modded inner wells, additional suspension mods not listed, or is not quite a 5" drop (vs. a stock height C10) to = 'no rubbing' w/an extra 3" of wheel & tire extended from the hub vs mine. Your proposed 6" of back-spacing will still extend the wheel & tire outboard @ least 2 additional inches vs my images below. What's your combo going to be?
