huge c-notches?

Why do some people have gigantic c-notches? i know this sounds dumb but if i can get all the way down with a 3-4" c-notch then why a 10"? Is it to fit bigger wheels? Just curious as I think thats why but i'm not 100% sure. thanks.

Re: huge c-notches?

well what size wheel/tire you using? that pretty much determines how much of a notch your gonna need...i'm running 22's in the rear and it'll need a sizeable notch to clear those...

Re: huge c-notches?

The larger the wheel size usually determines the size of notch. Like a C-notch over a step notch...

Re: huge c-notches?

that's what i was wondering, so the tire and wheel is what determines what you need for the most part. I'm going low-buck rat rod/shop truck. So i'll probably be going with 15" steelies, i might like to run some big wide tires though in the back, how much would that affect a c-notch and bags? thanks for the reply.

yes, the wheels size and amount of drop will factor how much of a notch is needed
