problem after ece 4.5/6 drop
hi
dolly gt his drop 4,5 in the frnt with drop spindels all from the kit from ece and 6 in the rear. my problem know is that my wheels won t fit know they touch the lower arm and the spindle where the steering rod is fixed. i don t know the size of the wheel but i think these are 15x10 with 4 and a bit backspace there are 275 60 tyres on it. the backspace is sure 4 and a bit i measured 10,5cm. which rallys could i buy wh fit? classicindustries has them in 15x8 with 4 backspace would that fit? i will run with 245 60 or 255 60 tyres... maybe there is someone who has thies drop with these rally wheals... thanks a lot

Re: problem after ece 4.5/6 drop
That backspace on a 10" wide wheel definitely wont work. Stock rallys in an 8" flavor certainly will though.

Re: problem after ece 4.5/6 drop
That is a really wide front wheel.
Do you have any before/after pictures of the drop? I know this doesn't help out at all, lol.

Re: problem after ece 4.5/6 drop
if a 10" wide rim with a 4 backspace hits spindle and control arm // an 8" wide rim with a 4backspace will hit the exact same places

![]() Sorry for the long waiting... i d had alot of other stuff to do and my dolly is parked in the garage since the drop;( I don t know which rallyes i should order withe the drop... Does anyone has a shop where 8 could buy some? I found a set on classic industries but to send them back from germany if they wont fit is expensive and take weeks... What do you think?

Re: problem after ece 4.5/6 drop
I don't think you have 10" rallys those look like 8" rallys or could be 7's.I would make sure before you end up ordering the same wheel.Good luck great looking truck

Re: problem after ece 4.5/6 drop
Check out this thread to understand the BS on various rally wheels. With the drop you have 4" BS is the max you can go.

Re: problem after ece 4.5/6 drop
You don't need new wheels. Just trim your lower control arms as outlined in post six by lowlife99: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=416186
Nice truck...looks like my twin! I have a 5" drop up front and run 15 x 7 rallies with no issues after trimming the lower arms slightly.
