5.5/7inch combo static drop questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ordered my CPP grand slam without thinking to ask what rim size I should run 18 or 20's do not want different front and rear unless it's just a width difference and what size tires to put on them to ensure I'm not too close to the ground where I'm gonna be scraping everytime I drive it, also will this make for inner fender issues? any pics of this type of drop with info on rim and tires you're running would be a HUGE helper for me as well, guess I got excited a bit to be ordering and rushed into it

looks perfect, thanks a million for the reply, starting to think I was in trouble with this one, his post says enough for me, I'll be all good, settled on the 20x8.5 338's and going to run a spacer in the back to push them out to avoid issues with rotating etc, thinking of a 255/45zr20 tires just to give me a little more clearance, the roads here are terrible here but that stance is exactly what I'm after, the rough/corvette style ride may be a little bad for here, but I'll stick with CPP just on the dealings I've had with Jeff so far, thanks again
