Wheel size help 65 suburban???

Getting around to working on the suburban and looking at possible air ride or
static drop. Curious what size wheels will fit in the rear without any modifications.
Want to leave stock rear floor just a bolt in notch in rear

Re: Wheel size help 65 suburban???

As clean as that thing looks I would do 2.5 drop spindles and one inch coils in front and 3" springs in the rear. If you are staying with 15" wheels I would go 15"x7 all around with 215/70 in front and 235/70 in rear. This set up is safe and would ride great while not breaking the piggy bank.
