Wheels & Tires

I have a 1970 C10 fleetside lwb project on the go and it has a 2.5/4" drop on it. Whats the biggest size wheel and tire combo that I will be able to fit into stock wheelwells with little or no modification. I would like to roll 20's but still need a decent amount of sidewall so i am thinking 18's might be a better way to go. Anybody out there who can help me? Suggestions on a killer looking set of rollers would be much appreciated to. A couple of my ideas were eagle alloys 025 series or 026 series and sovereign sr6's (but only if they made them in a 5 lug bolt pattern!!)
Thanks

You could run a 295/45/20 on the back for sure. I am not positive on the front I am running a 245/45/20. You could probably run a 275/35/20 on the front but don't quote me on that.

Re: Wheels & Tires

Could you run a 20x9.5 w/ 295/45's or ten on the rear? How about backspacing?
