Tire Fitting

I'm building a 72 c10 and putting 295/45/20 tires on the back. Does anyone know if I can put the same size on the front? If not, what is the biggest size I can put on the front with a 20 inch wheel?

Re: Tire Fitting

I'm running a 255/45/20 in the front. I do have an air ride set up but I drive it at a height of about a 2-3" drop and have no issues.

Re: Tire Fitting

I believe that 255 is as wide as you can run, especially with a drop.

Re: Tire Fitting

I have 275/45/20 front and rear. Front with a spindle and 1" drop spring snags a fender bolt every once in a while but my springs and Monroe shocks are a little soft.
