Hey All,

I am trying to make a final decision on wheels and tires.

Pls posts lots of pics with detailed info of your wheel/tire/susp. setup

My ride is a 1968 shortbed fleetside 2wd frame off custom build up in progress.

Anyway. I am about to install the Early Classic 4/6 Drop kit and I am pretty sure I want 18x8 (4.5" back space) front wheels and 18x10 (5")rears.

Early Classic did a air bag drop on a Suburban and I want a similar look
but they used 18's up front and 20's in the rear. I want to stick with
18's all around. I am considering 255/55R18 on the front.

1. What would be the correct size to fit the 10" wide rears and have the sidewall match the fronts

Pics plsssssssssss

Anyone have any examples of Wheel/tire/backspacing that will not work with the EC 4/6. Like clearance issues or rubbing?
