Im not sure exactly who you were asking but for me i dont have any specific specs on any of the trucks i posted in the pics. They are just pics ive come across. But when i do my truck im gonna run a dropmember with the trailing arm kit and bolt in bridge with inboard bag mounts, It says that will allow you to run a 14" wide wheel. If you use the 4 link you can only run 12" wide wheels

and im not sure if or how much the rear end will have to be narrowed but im actually runnin a ford 9inch.

Maybe this will help you some. Only build thread ive found where someone ran a wheel 14" wide. I didnt read it much so idk if he gives any specs but hopefully itll help you some

Re: 22/24 billet wheels

Cant go wrong with anything made by intro, boyd, or bonspeed imo. But everyone has different tastes. The intro vista or twisted vista is always a good way to go. If you can afford em that is lol.

You can run up to a 35 series up front and stay under 30" no problem. But even with a 25 series in back you wont be able to stay under 30" cause of the width youll need. A 305/25/24 is exactly 30 inches tall. But is only 12.01 inches wide. Obviously you would need a wider tire but they only get taller. Just to give you an idea. a 315/25/24 is 30.20 inches tall. Youll prbly need like a 355 or somethin in that area which would be 31" tall

Re: 22/24 billet wheels

Here's a thread that I was following that seems to have since been abandoned (I know, I know, I have no room to talk)...

It's a pretty sweet start. Would be cool to see what the current status is.
