Wheel Tire Size and Drop

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of the wheel and tires size of this amazing 67? Is he running a 3/4 drop? Would love to get a similar look. Especially the tire height.

Could I run the following without rubbing and still tuck? Any advice would be greatly helpful
Rear
16x10
4 inch backspacing

Front
16x8
5.5 inch backspacing

Re: Wheel Tire Size and Drop

My guess is at least a 5/7 static drop or an air ride syetem with boxed lower A-arms in front and 2" drop blocks in the rear. Looks like a 15" wheel to me.

Very slick truck.

In the words of Forrest Gump..."Thats all I have to say about that."

Re: Wheel Tire Size and Drop

IMO, you would want 4.5” bs in front and 5” on rear. Maybe 5.5” if your truck is a fleetside, that would be zero offset.

I don’t think even with a 16” wheel you will clear the control arm with 5.5” bs and that will tuck the wheel in too far.

My truck has 235 55 17 on front on a 17x8 4.5” bs wheel with no rubbing issues. 2 1/2” spindle disc conversion and 2” spring. I have 17x9” 5” bs on rear with 275 55 17. Stepside leafspring truck with flip for 7” drop.

Re: Wheel Tire Size and Drop

I'm about 99.9% positive that's a 4/6 drop with 15x7 wheels and 235/75/15 tires. The wheels are actually 88-91 Blazer/Suburban wheels that are painted or powdercoated black. I could be off on the tire size, but that's a very tall and skinny tire.
