Help!!! wheel, tire and suspension
Hey guys, I restomodding my 86 c10 stepper and just about to order my wheel and tire package. The truck right now is static dropped with 2 1/2 spindles and 1 coil cut and the rear is flipped. The truck will be getting bagged within the next year or so and will only be using a c notch so I can retain my bed , not looking lay out on frame. My ? is should I run a 20x8.5 front with a 22X10 rear or should I just run 4 20" wheels or 22" Wheels? My next ? is what offset should I run since the wheel builder will build per my spec's? Third and final ? what size tires should I run ( I need alittle meat so no rubber bands) 30" overall height. Thanks

Re: Help!!! wheel, tire and suspension
I will throw some thoughts at you. First off is wheel choice opinion. I have found that any wheel with exposed hardware is really hard to keep clean. I know that style is popular, just offering my experience.
Size wise, I dont feel squares look as good as other era trucks with staggered wheel combos unless they are layed out. Due to the shape of the wheelwells, they look better with same size wheels f/b .
