An older low milage crate 350/350 combo,Plus a tilt wheel,I want to slam it 3/5 or 4/6 with a 265/50/15 and 295/50/15 tire combo that I already have, does anybody have any photos for any ideas?And are there any rubbing issues? Thanks

Re: My new 63

I like your 63, very nice. I lowered mine 3 1/2" and 5" And have no rubbing issues. I am running 255/55's on 16" X 8" wheels. They have 4 1/2" backspacing. Best of luck with your project. Here'a a photo of mine:

The mirrors came off and went into the trash right after I took the pics.

Re: My new 63

Nice find on the '63

I've seen guys running the 295/50R-15 tires on the back, but I don't know how much drop they had.

Re: My new 63

PO put 295/50R-15 all around on my truck

At stock height, rear rubs slightly on inside, but could be due to crappy wood cutout from bed floor.

Thanks,maybe 10's in the rear is not a good idea after all.
