Thoughts on 22/24 Setups?

Ya there is too much lip, wow.. didnt think id ever be saying that. Anyways, for a 14" wide wheel, a 6-7" backspace would be ideal

Just prepare for the never ending project dude! haha

I'd contact Porterbuilt about those 22x10's up front (with a 5" BS),... tucking with his Dropmember.
Most of the time, I think he recommends a 8.5" wide wheel (with a 5.25" BS).

It only takes money to fix that problem.

how much do those rushforth wheels run for say some 22x10s?

Money is exactly what I would need LoL.. If its a big problem I can have the wheels rehooped to a 22x8.5 with the proper backspace

[muthstryker]

This truck has 22s fronts and 24s rear..

I just remembered justpball is running a 20x10 on his burban with a 5" backspace. I think the drop member would work and I would beable to run my 22x10s. I will call Nate @ Porterbuilt monday and talk with him.

[muthstryker]

Just got off the phone with Nate @ Porterbuilt, He said they can make their control arms an inch shorter on each side to accommodate for the 22x10 up front. And for the rear, he said they are working on a drop member that has the bag mounted inboard on the frame so I would beable to run such a wide tire.

I guess I'm old skool; I liked your truck as it sat with the 20" 225s on it.

Anything lower and bigger diameter is not really my thing.... I love the workmanship on those trucks, but I'm going from 22"s to 20"s.

Anyway, build it the way you want it.

BTW, that Chevelle is reaaallly close to the pavement.
Don't wanna run my GTO that low. Lower than stock but not that low.
Guess he's got shockwaves or something in there

Those Rushforth wheels rock big time!!! Shame they're a bit too much $$$$

Ya the Chevelle is pretty low, but you are correct he has the Ridetech Street Challenge kit on the car.

I have a 67 GTO thats on the back burner right now, the truck is going to take all my funds. But I plan on doing a full "REAL" Pro-touring build on it. The way Pro-Touring was years ago when it was more then just a set of big wheels and lowering springs.

[erikgto]

67's are waaay cool.
I sold mine last year cause it needed too much work to be as nice as I wanted it.
For a little less I bought this nice '71 LeMans which will be a mild pro touring The Judge Clone.
I'm getting ready to order some SPC suspension stuff for it....it has torched springs too

[muthstryker]

That thing is awsome! SPC makes some nice stuff.

OK, well, I did some thinking the last few days. Ive decided to do the 22s all around, I couldnt justify spending more money on two wheels and two tires then I paid for the whole truck. I can buy the porterbuilt front and rear drop members with the money saved from deciding on 22s all around. As soon as I get enough parts gathered I will start a build thread. I just hate to start one right now and only be able to update it once a month.
