Can someone post pics of 18" wheels on stock suspension?

[ksshane]

Like the title says. Im about to order some wheels for my truck, but my suspension will have to wait a bit.

Just curious what 18's look like on a stock height C10.

Even better if you happen to have a 71 C10 with 18x8's up front and 18X9.5's out back

Thanks

I have exactly what you're looking for, an stock height photo of a 1971 with 18x8 and 18x 9.5 that I took about 8 years ago, but I can't post photos like a lot of people here right now PM your email and I'll send you a pic later today.

PM sent... Thanks

When you get the pic from C/10 King, post it here so we can see!

Will do... Im at work.. so if I dont catch it right as it comes in it might take a little bit before I can get to it.

Here's mine currently, tho not the best pic. '72 with 18x8 and 18x9.5 Ridlers at stock height. Doesnt look too bad, but can't wait to drop it.

what backspacing did/are you guys using? i'm thinking about going to 18s as well ... TexasLS1 your wheels look to sit right at the edge of the body, is that right? any clearance issue? Thanks.

Thanks, that photo was taken in 06' I believe, the exact tire sizes I might be off a little but the fronts were a 45 series(maybe 255/45/18) and the backs were 40 series (maybe 275/40/18) hope this helps you.

[ksshane]

Yes it does.. Thank you

No issues with rubbing, we'll see what happens when I lower it but I think I'll be fine. Tires are 255/50 and 295/45. I believe the backspacing was 4.5" for the 8" fronts and 5" for the rear 9.5"? I got them through Tommy at TNT Motorsports (ksbrktracer) - he's one of our vendors. Here's another pic -

Yeah they were 255/50 Nitto NT420 up front and 295/45 Nitto NT555 in the rear. I ended up lowering it 3.5 and 5” with no rubbing
