This will be on an 87 with an LS swap. I will be running a 2.5" drop spindle and a 1" lowering spring from ridetech. Rims are the Ridler 695. 20x8.5 with 4.75" backspacing. The tire works out mathematically as a 30" tall tire but i am guessing it will come in just under that as most tires seem to run under their measurements.

I am hoping they will fit but wanted to see if anybody was running something similar and could give some feedback. Thanks!
