Also, watch over the top of the tires in the rear. There is an outer fender edge and bracing that could come into play depending upon the size wheel and tire and how low you set the truck.

I just went through this with 20 inche / 10" wide wheels, tried 285's, then 265's then 255 20's before I finally got them to fit. I think there is about 12.5" of room between the fender lip and the bed so tire width is not unlimited.

On the front, you shouldn't have a problem depending upon how low you choose to go. I used 2.5" drops in the front and then cranked the torsion bars up as the 8.5" 245's were rubbing the fender lips. I am rolling the lips up this week to get a little bit more clearance. BTW, mine only rubbed on the passenger side and on turns to the right while hitting a slight bump.

Great looking truck you got there...I like it a lot!!! Here are the 10 inch wheels in the rear...Foose Legends. My rear axel is on bags so I run it just a bit lower then this right now...no rubbing!

Your running 20X10 rims front and back with 255 tires and no rubbing just a bit on passenger front? What is the tire exact size?

Really digging it. What size are the rear tires?

The rears are 305/35/20 We have realized that I have plenty of room in the rear after the tubs and narrowing the rear end, the next set will more than likely be a 345 or a M/T tire a bit wider!

We did use the factory arm, we bent it slotted it, welded a new pad on it to fit the new pedal cover, powder coated it and there you have it, once its hooked up it sits much closer to the floor like a modern truck!

Thank you sir, I am really excited to get it over to the upholstery shop.....It is turning out to be a very unique build, I don't know if I have seen anything quite like it. I think interior can really make or break a project.....We have a few tricks up our sleeve....Hopefully it turns out nice!

graymage · 02-17-2017, 02:21 PM

we will be watching and taking notes, stealing ideas, lol!!!
