Wheel size and drop help! Pics please if you have them!!

Fellas,

I am building a 69 c10 with ls6 swap. I have beltech drop spindles, springs, and shock kits to complete a 3/5 drop. Looking at a set of Foose wheels from a buddy, they are.....

18x8 255 45 18 front
20x10 305 35 20 rear

I know the tubs come with it for backspace, but not sure about 18 Front and 20 Rear combo.....any pics will be much appreciated!

If you look in the suspension area of the forum there are several threads that will have what you are looking for already.

Doesn't hurt to start a new one. Been around awhile and know that the search feature is a great place to start, but...start a new one so the newbies will post something new.

4/6 drop
20's in the back
18's in the front

Thanks fellas,

I have looked high and low and had no luck with a 3/5 drop. Jrdv, I love the look...did your 4/6 need an notch, I have read conflicting comments on this too. Some have done blocks etc, this can get confusing, but I am trying to make sure the stance is what I want the first time.

Thanks
Fellas

I used the ECE drop. I did not notch the frame and have been fine for 8 years. I don't know the backspacing. I PM'd you. I also told you the front rims were 18x9, but after looking they are 18x8. The tires are Toyo Proxies.

Sorry! I don't get on the forum much anymore so my replies may be late!
