Another Tire Size Question

I'm in the process of selecting tires for my 70 C10, here is my information:

Front- 20" x 9"
Rear- 20" x 10"
Fuel Rage rims
Target lowering- 2.5" front/4" rear

Initial tire thoughts: low profile

245/40/20 front
275/35/20 rear

I want as little as possible wheel well opening showing.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as tire/wheel selection drives my old brain crazy.

Thanks

Re: Another Tire Size Question

If you`re lowering 2.5" front/4" rear, you`re going to have some wheel well to fill up. Do you have a pic of the wheels? I`d probably go with a 45 or 50 series tire to help fill the gap.

It would help if you could post a pic of a truck with the look you`re going for, with the stance you want.

Re: Another Tire Size Question

Like other have stated 2.5 / 4 drop will have some space to fill. I would do at least 245/45/20 for front and 275/55/20 rear at the minimum.
