When you are trying to fit 18.5 to 21" wide tire in the back..... I have only 3.5" of backspacing on my wheels. 1.5" clearance on the frame rails and 1" clearance on the outer fender lip. I cant stand the little tire in the HUGE wheel well look!

My axles from Strange are only 28 inchs long each.

Hottrucks · 03-01-2010, 09:22 AM

I was running a stock pbar and the swing was enough to piss me off my new bar goes from the PS outside fram to the outside of the trailiing arm..its like 42" long....My wheels are stock rallies that I had 6" added to the back space with stock front space....I'm waiting for them.... as soon as I get them painted and mount the tires so I can see if this is all going to work....I'm worried about tire hitting inner bed at dump?? my axles are stock..and open...booooo!!

You might have already checked the geometry, but if not, better to find out now..

Truck has already been down the road for awhile. I have had the truck down even lower than it is now. I settled on this ride height because of the nice rake it has with the body lines. I do appreciate the concern.

Hottrucks · 03-01-2010, 07:05 PM

hey can anyone tell me how much they tubbed theres I have my bed apart for the fit but I'm looking at where my wheel well will be best I can figure I need about 41" that will put me even with the frame rails..I'm also conserned about the inner skin where it welds to the outside skin...am I going to have issues there??

I need to start a build thread but this truck has been torn down and changed too much, so I'll just post pics where I can.

drewdude92 · 03-08-2010, 03:03 PM

whats the widest wheel and tire you can fit under a stock 72 c10 half ton. Well of course lowered bout 4 to 5 inches. Backspacing specs and all on the wheels

Hottrucks · 03-08-2010, 07:08 PM

I'm having 5" of backspaceing added to a stock rally wheel ..My plan is to just tub it and relocate the E brake cable...one thing I did do is relocate my panard bar from stock to from the back of the trailing arm to the oposite side outside frame ( 42" ) I have amost no side travel with 1" blocks and bags in the stock spring location and a C notch...my wheels "should" be here at teh end of the week

djracer · 03-08-2010, 10:43 PM

What did it cost and who is doing the wheels?

68 C-10 KID · 03-08-2010, 11:46 PM

hottrucks who's bar did you go with? Would it clear a aftermarket Diff cover? I need to go with a long bar to help the launch.

rockvette · 03-09-2010, 04:12 AM

I went with Stockton Wheels and had them build me a 6 hole 17x12 with a 9" backspace on a stock rearend look at my site

I built my bar and hanger I'm running cup car trailing arms they had a hanger for an adjustable bar but it was on the driversside so I fabbed up the bar and hanger ( on te outside of the frame to add a couple more inchs ....at full dump ( my axle U bolts just clear the sides of frame) when at ride height I'm about 1/4" off..the angle of the hanger on the truck arm is aimed so it clears my stock cover pretty well and since I was fabbing the hanger I kinda put it where I wanted???

heres a pic sorry its not all shiny and painted yet te second pic is the issue with a C notch and the U bolt clearance if you need one of the hanger on the frame I can get it but its nothing but aHanger that goes from the frame down about an 1" below the frame with a hole in it??

along with a place to mount a sway bar

I would do it agin in a heartbeat

djracer · 03-11-2010, 08:22 AM
