Re: Wheel/tire picture thread

Truck is a 69, 68 clip. 84 front suspension swap. 2.5" McGaughys drop spindles and one turn cut from the stock small block springs. (could change soon, PO cut the springs)

I had the engine in my truck this spring and had a problem. It had to come back out. The pics you see with the new wheels are more current, the pics with truck rallys are to show how much the big block will bring the front end down once I get it back in. The tires on the rallyes are 215/65 I think, ..

4.5" drop in the front with 1.25 HD rotors. (I gained about .5 in track width) .. and a big block with iron heads.

6" drop springs in the back, no wood in the bed, not much gas in it, bumper, or driver's step fender on it. It may come down another 2" when I get my notch in place. .. or bags..

The wheels are Billet Specialties Dagger.

F 20x8.5 5.5" BS 255/40/20 Nitto 420s
R 20x8.5 4.75" BS 255/45/20 Nitto 420s

I have the earlier rear end housing. 55.5" plate to plate.

These wheels were measured 316,543 times with a Percy's wheelrite. I'm confident I can tell you .. you can't get much more than this under a stepper without cutting something somewhere. I have heard 22x9 with 5" BS will work with minor trimming. I just offset mine to keep from having to cut my fenders. My tires will tuck completely into the wheel wells, no rubbing with about 3/8" clearance on either side in the back.

You just can't get as much tire under a stepper !! I know, people have more under theirs .. I just didn't want to cut anything.
