What size tires for a 4/6 drop with 20's? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 07-06-2005, 07:56 PM

Hey guys,

I bought my 20's this weekend and they have 275/45 on all four. Is this a good size for a 4/6 drop on a stepside? I'm not worried too much about the back it's the front that concerns me. I'd also like a little bit of a rake but if not possible that's cool.

id go with a 245/40/20 and a 275/35/20 on the rear if you are running a staggered set up ie. 20x8 20x9.5

The wheels are 20x8.5-all 4 of them. If that makes a difference.

Hey Rat, did you have any problems fitting the 20s under the truck with a 4/6 drop? I was planning on running a 2.5/4 drop, but now that I've seen your's, I really like the look. What kind of wheels are those as well?

Ratpowerd67 · 07-09-2005, 07:13 PM

you can do 4/6 with 20s easy, like i said im going 5/7, it will be close when i turn , but if i take care and not hit pot holes when turing i will be ok. ill probly have to leave the wheel wells out also.the wheels are american eagle 025.

Rat,

Are you leaving the wheel wells out as it stands right now with the 4/6?

Purs · 07-10-2005, 09:36 AM

RAT, how do you have your 4/6 drop right now? Spindles and springs or what? What are you changing (and keeping) to go to 5/7? I've got a 2.5"/3 right now and thinking I'd like to go 3.5/5. thanks for the info. After looking at these pics, I think I could live with the front but the back needs to come down an inch, maybe 2. I guess I could just use blocks...

Ratpowerd67 · 07-10-2005, 10:22 AM

purs, in the pics i posted, i do not have my 2" blocks instaled, just my 4 in springs. (old pic) , when you get the blocks in the truck will be almost level. i never installed new wheel whells when i built the truck , because i was going to bag it. with a 4/6 i know for sure you can leave them on with no issues. i have 3in belltec spindles, 1 in drop coils in front, the rear 4" coils with 2" blocks. the blocks where not installed in the pic, it still has a small rake to it but not much. i think thats also due to the 454 up front........rat
