what size of rear tires i know 15 inch but 235/70s or different and how much room do you have in your rear fenders could you go with a 275/60 tire in the back

alaska gasser · 03-22-2014, 01:07 AM

S10 rear and M2 with 15" rear tires and 14" front.

lazypineapple · 03-22-2014, 07:39 AM

245/60-15 rear
225/60-15 fronts
245s are 10" wide
The rear fender opening is 12"
I have an 1" clearance on each side.
No tubs

A 275/60 will be around +11" wide or more
It would be tight

I'm in the process of setting up my AD with new tires/rims. Going for 16s. I've test fit a 255/65 R16 on back. It's 10.2" and about as large as I want to go. Going with 235/70R16 on front (and spare). It would also work well on the back. Both sizes are the same height, so with a posi rear, I'm set. I have a long bed and 15s looked too small on it.

Heidts IFS with Posies 3" leaf and 2" block. Running 215/75r15s up front and 235/70r15s in the rear. 15x5 /15x7

Yes you remember when I installed that clip. Its the same truck that had that awful clip installation that I fixed. Remember the thread I did on it? Its a link in my signature titled "Fixing a mess of a clip installation" Remember?

This is it after a fresh coat of paint

**Dan in Pasadena** · 03-28-2014, 12:42 AM

Oh yeah, now I remember. It's THAT truck, ha ha. Love the paint too.

I entertained painting my truck Corvette yellow in the past and I DO love how it looks ...on other people's trucks. Is that the color on this truck?

Is the owner still loving it?

msaintg · 03-28-2014, 08:58 AM

wasn't the original question related to static drops of the original suspension? S10s, camaro front ends, M2, etc, etc, is like comparing apples and oranges. I have seen 'static' drops by only lowering the cab on the frame... no suspension changes at all. It is like talking rim offsets.

No that was not the original question. He asked for pictures of static drops with 15 or 16 inch wheels. He did not state the trucks had to have original suspensions. A static drop is a vehicle that is lowered and stationary. No use of air bags or hydraulics.
