I have a 1970 C20 I'm going to lower and do the usual to, but my question is with it being trailing arm rear, how wide can i get of a rim in the rear.

I realize I may have to have them made, but I was thinking a steel 17 or 18 inch wheel maybe 14 or 12 wide for a mini tub look. I know I'll have to widen bed wheel tubs but it looks like i can go pretty wide with out cutting rear axle

it's the eaton rear

also any pics of lowered 8 lug hot rod style trucks?
