Need help sizing Coys on a '72 stepper

[trichmond60]

Hey All,

I've spent hours searching around to find a definitive answer on what fits and what hits on a lowered stepside. I have a '72 with a 4.5" drop in the front and 6" in the rear. I'm looking at some 18" Coys C5 rims and I'm unsure if there's a defined limit as to how tall and how wide one can go with a tire before rubbing.

Does anyone have experience running a similar setup? Rim width? Backspace? I'd like to shoot to get the most side wall and tire width as possible.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

good question. i'm going to install a bag setup next week. i got 15x8 rallies and got 255/60 tires on and it looks like that will fit. i have a 69 stepside.
