what are u all doing about inner fenders?

Jonboy · 05-26-2010, 03:00 PM

I am just running the original ones. No problems yet.

3r!c84 · 05-26-2010, 03:04 PM

no rubbing? mine rub alot

JWall · 05-26-2010, 03:05 PM

My buddy has one with a 4/6 and he did nothing to his inners and has had no problems.

Running stock ones on my Dads truck too..There were a couple bolts that went thru the inner fender that I flipped over so that the head of the bolt was on the bottom side incase the tire ever got into them (instead of the long threads sticking down)....its really close with the 6" drop but no major problems yet.

Jwall do you think the 6/8 drop would clear on 15's i am running 255/60/15's

JWall · 05-26-2010, 05:05 PM

I would think so because that tire size and the front tires on my dads are basically the same diameter and width.
I would hate to say yes for sure because each truck is different.
Wheel backspacing would also play a part.

54Caddy · 05-26-2010, 05:11 PM

yeah im eventually get some 20s and run 235/55/20s they are the same tire height as the ones i have now and was thinking of doing a 6/8 drop. Or just go all out and bag it ahaha

this is what i want mine to look like. but my truck is 85.
can i run these tire sized on my truck. fronts and rears are same size tho.
i need new tires and want this kind of look
after i get tires ill be looking for a drop kit.
thanks for any help

Jonboy · 05-30-2010, 02:23 PM

I think the 8" wheel will be a little wide for a 215 width tire. Maybe a 235/60 would be OK on an 8" wheel, and be the same height. I actually had the van (6.5" wheels) and had to find the 8's.

jasonroman · 05-31-2010, 09:41 AM

ok. so if i have 8's. what size should i run front and back?
thanks for any help

Mattsch18 · 05-31-2010, 11:28 PM
