Wheel/tire/drop specs
 
I think this is one of the most asked questions on the forums. So lets see a pic of your truck with the wheel specs [diameter, width, backspacing] tire size and what kind of drop you have. I think this will be helpful to other builders. I would post mine but I dont have my wheels yet.

20" coys

i had the 8.5's up front and the 10's in the rear

for tires i had Yokohoma's, 245/45's up front and 295/45's in back

i had to adjust rear a bit to get the right stance, truck was 5/7, i like rear tire being burried under rear lip like this

sold this truck and missed it bad, but it did go to a great guy on here:metal:

Front - 20x8.5, 5.25" Backspacing, 245/40 Nitto Invo
Rear - 20x10, 5.5" Backspacing. 315/35 Nitto Invo

Drop is supposed to be 5/5 from Pro Performance (Pro3 kit), but it feels like the rear is a little lower than that.

315 is a lot of tire for a 10" wheel. I think a 305 or 295 would fit better, but I wanted as much tire as possible. I wanted to try to fit a 275 up front but one of the tires got lost during shipping, and the only thing available before winter came was those 245s. The truck has a bit of a push through corners, that I think would be fixed by more tire in the front.
