Re: Rims

You probably are going to need to shorten the rear to get a deep lip like you want. I have a set of 20x10's with a 4" BS so I get a 6" lip, I am having to shorten the rear about 2" or so to get it to fit. I am also having to tub the inner bed sides.

Re: Rims

My wheels are 20x10 with 5.75 B.S. With the 315/35/20 tires I have less than a 1/8" of clearance on each side when it's fully dumped. I wouldn't drive it like this though. My rearend is stock width, and I tubbed the wheel wells.

With a static drop, you might not want to go with quite so much BS if you're not planning on narrowing the axles.

check my build thread for pictures....I think there is even one of me measuring the lip.

Re: Rims

Run an earlier rear (63-68ish) and you get an extra 3/4" per side (shorter). Also the 69 era Camaro/Chevelle rears have been used. Or have one shortened...
