Will this work and look good?

[xfsketch]

Im still trying to figure out just how big pf wheel and tire combo i can run on my 72 lwb chevy. Its in stock stance. I want the rear lowered to make the truck look level and then put some 20x8.5 rims pn the front with 255/35r20 tires. On the back some 20x10 with some 265/35r20s. Will i have any problems bolting these up and steering or driving it? I would have to get 3 inch drop springs for the rear? Im ok with chopping my wheel wells. Also will the tires look good the sizes i mentioned? Please help im planning on dropping 3000 in this truck. Really want to just order the right thing the first time. All help is appreciated.

Heres some picks of my rat rod. I want to have a cheap drop and have enough clearance with no rake. Im a fan of the rake style with the bigger wheels in back, but not its for me im thinking as a hotrod fan who wants to have a ratty truck with SICK wheels! I just got a truck cover for it from lmc. A new seat reupholstery kit black. I was thinking 18 inch rims all the way around but then i thought more on it and think that if im getting wheels this might (im hoping) be the last time i ever have the cash in hand to get the wheels of my dreams. Ive always wanted a brand new shiney chrome set of torque thrust Is. 20s seem to be best choice. I Like torque thrust IIs, boss motorsports 338s, Coys or lately im considering the boss 304s they remind me of a new aged keystone classic im going to order a new exhaust and tonneau cover then do my best on the rest of the body work little at a time. It has a 305 in it with a mild cam, soon to be two barrel holley carb, three speed switched to the floor. New clutch. All new seals. Very reliable truck! What do you think? Should this be a build thead?

Im still trying to figure out just how big of wheel and tire combo i can run on my 72 lwb chevy. Its in stock stance. I want the rear lowered to make the truck look level and then put some 20x8.5 5.24 bs. rims on the front with 255/35r20 tires. On the back some 20x10 6 inch bs, with some 265/35r20s. Will i have any problems bolting these up? They are 5x5 spacing. Will i have problems steering or driving it? would have to get 3 inch drop springs for the rear? Im ok with chopping my wheel wells. Also will the tires look good the sizes i mentioned? Please help im planning on dropping 3000 in this truck. Really want to just order the right things the first time. All help is appreciated.

Both of those sizes will fit, just make sure to get the right offset on the wheels.

TY oldspowered67c10!! Im reading through the wheels related threads and saw a truck i like that has the size wheels i listed above with a 4/6 suspension drop it looks level like what I want. I appreciate the advice!

Ahhh. I missed looking at that one.

But here's a "quickie" on your basic description. May still have a little rake. And, I gave you rusty disks front and rear behind your 20" Boss 338's. You'd probably want more tire on the back.

I was lazy. And this isn't a refined shot. Just one to give you an idea. I *did* take the liberty of getting rid of a couple of extra cars. And, I hope the neighbors aren't mad that I ripped off their laundry hanger thingy.

TY magwakeenercew2jh!!! I photoshop a bit myself you did a great job!!! I do have rusty discs up front and drums in the back. Eventually plan on converting the rears to disc there os a website that interested me. I dunno if youve seen it yet. Here is the link to the wheel visualiser. http://www.bigotires.com/Wheel-Visualizer
It doesnt have the option to go with 20 inch wheels so you saved me some hassle heres some of the screenshots. The blue one I ps chopped a bit
So i want to do a cheap drop. Whats a cheap route to go pn a 4/6 inch drop? Backspacing good on the wheels I chose? Sorry just curious.

Just thought you might be interested in the site. I will make this a build thread if a mod can switch it over for me. I will take lots of pictures. I have a few posts here or more. I dont know how to find them. Sometimes i bookmark em.

I like these wheels too. They look like 20s on a longbed. Might be 18s. The red 72 posted by outofmoney

Is this how my truck would look with 22xs in back and 20s up front at factory stance? No lowering at first?

Thanks for Big O link

[xfsketch]

I found this link. I like the 20s how they look on jarwoods truck. I might go with a wider rim and tire in the rear. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=471442&page=4

Maybe i can just raise the front to level the stance. With some blocks?

I think the stance is okay. The wheels look a little big, though.

[xfsketch]

Lol nice chop! Teehee!

[xfsketch]

Would you say they look like 22s?

[xfsketch]

If i can figure out how to make it look like the pic i posted two pics up i would go with that and lower it later. What do u think 20s or 22s?

Sorry i been all over the place changing my mind a lot. Hows this. I want to keep my stock stance. I would like to buy 20 inch rims all the way around. I like the boss 304s. They only have these on summit with 8.5 wide. I plan to call them and try to special order the 8x10 in hopes to achieve wider rims in the rear. The backspacing listed on the 8.5 wide rims is 5.25. The tires ive selected so far are 275/45 yokohoma spectres.
The plan is to see some pics of trucks that are stock height with 20 inch wheels. I like the deeper looking rims on the back. Im still searching the forum. Most times i find specs but no offset most times. I would like to eventually make the truck look level stance. I know nothing about tires and backspacing.

[xfsketch]

Im also considering 22s instead. Any pics of stock height trucks with 22s?

[xfsketch]

If i go with 20s on the front and 22s on back. Is there any tire combo that will clear enough to drive it after mounting them?
22s - 5.810 bs
20s -5.25 bs
