For the peeps running fat rear meats

Can you post some pics and details on wheels(backspacing, width), and also on amount of drop if any. I am looking to drop my truck and still fill the wheel well with some fat rubber in the rear and the widest I can find in a street tread is 295/50/15. If you have wider tires on 17 or 18 inchers I would like to see those too. thanx!!

Re: For the peeps running fat rar meats

Are you wanting to give it a drag race look? or a street look?

Mickey Thompson sells a lot of performance tires that are bigger than that (well, straight line performance that is) -- Coker still carries Pro-Tracs -- their N 50 "racing profile" tire is cool for a vintage vibe and is much larger than a 295/50

20x12 w/6" backspacing

Re: For the peeps running fat rar meats

I want a racinr look that I can still drive on the street. I have been looking at 20" wheels and tires and they seem to be catching on with me.
