17" Rallys Tire size selection and pictures?
 
Hello,

I'm getting ready to purchase 17x8 rallys for the front and 17x9 rallys for the rear from Wheel Vintiques for a my 70 C10 shortbed. I'm trying to select a good size tire? The truck is currently lowered 4" in front and approx. 6" in the rear. I'm going to eventually put 2.5" drop spindles and c-notch the rear. Anybody have some pictures or ideas on what size tires to run with out having to cut anything out or have clearance issues?

Thanks!

That's the exact same wheels I'm looking at. I am planning on running 255/60/17's in the front (29" tall) and 275/60/17's rear (30" tall) with a 4/5 drop. I don't expect to have any clearence issues at that drop, but lower than that maybe. I would think that the rears would fit easily because of the backspacing, and the fronts probably because i've seen larger on 4" backspacing and they fit. I don't know yet since my truck right now is a cab on a frame and not quite ready to bolt on wheels yet! Any pics of what you wind up with would be appreciated since I'm looking at the same thing.
