Tire height?

[ChrisDollins]

Wondering what most people are going with as far as tire height on a lowered truck. Pics would be great, my 66 is in the paint shop, so can't mock up or measure. Will be lowered 4-6, and wanting to go with a simple 5-spoke 18" wheel. All help is appreciated!

I used a 26.5'' tire with 5'' lowering. Not much clearance on the inners but not a big problem so far. Mine are 275/40/18's. You may be able to get up to 28'' but it's a guess....somewhere in that range.

Here ya go, 6 inch front drop, 4 inch rear drop, 5 spoke 18 inch wheels 255-55-18 tires that are 29.04 inches tall and 10.04 inches wide, sidewall height is 5.52 inches

Thanks, do you have a pic of the 26.5" setup? Just seems like most of the 18" tires I find are 26 or so. Didn't know if a 26 or 27 would look right or not.
