My wheels are in yet but will post pics ASAP. I’m going with 245/45/20 on an 8 “ wheel in the front at 28.68 “ and 275/45/20 on a 9 1/2 wheel in the rear .

Thanks 4 the help. For reference I have the ridetech front & rear kit. I like mine for all the same reasons u listed. With the tubular front a arms, I believe there is more room to stuff a wider wheel n there. Looking at the spindles, a 20 inch rim may b able to fit around the front arm where I don’t think a smaller diameter can with out some grinding of the arm.
Also some one asked about wilwood spindles n an earlier post. They have 2 styles. A standard drop spindle and the pro spindle. The difference aside from cost is the pro spindles are 1/2 the weight of there cast iron counterparts. They have a single sealed bearing (think late model corvette style) .
