Please post pics of lowered trucks w/ 15'' rims... Please include tire sizes

[Slammed84]

Hoping some of you would like to show your lowered chevys that are sporting stock rallies, or some OEM chevy rims from other trucks and what size tires your running.

I have a flip kit on the rear, 2.5 drop spindles and 1 coil cut up front which is supposed to be close to an extra 2'' drop.

I'm currently running 295/50/15 on all four corners w/ 88-98 Sport rims (454SS), but as many of you know the front tires stick out further than the rear.

I am wanting the tire to sit in the fenders equally or have the rears stick out further but I'm not crazy about using spacers.

Lets see some pics!

Here's a pic of my '82 with corvette rallies lowered 6/8 but probably more of a 7/9. Fronts are 15x8s with 4" BS and rears are 15x10s with 5" BS. Well, they are actually about a 5.25" BS. Front tires are 245/60 and rears are 295/50s. The rear tires only have about a 1/4" gap to the fenders.

Thanks for the compliments. The front has heated springs (done long time ago) to achieve a 3" drop and also has 3" Belltech spindles. The rear has straightened leaf springs (done at the same time as the springs) to get a 4" drop and also has a flip kit. It also has a c-notch. The truck also has helper bags out back that need to be aired up all the time. If not, the frame sits on the axle and this is with a button type bump stop. As for the ride, rides smooth. Same as my '87 that's lowered 4/6. Only thing is I have to be very careful where I drive.

Ill try to get some better pics for you if the sun is up when I get home tomorow

Very nice! I have trouble with rubbing on the front but only if I hit a bump while turning. Im wanting a smaller tire up front just don't know what size yet.

[DownLowHoe]

73 GMC, 5/7 drop, 15x6 up front with 225/70/15 and 15x8's in the rear with 275/60/15

Here is my '86. I'm not sure what size the rims are, and I don't know how much it was lowered since both were done by the PO. Tires are 245/60r/15 in the front and 295/50r/15 in the back. The wheels are Weld Racing Prostars.

*Edit: Craigslist posting from my truck said 3" in front, 5" in rear.

[Rich84]

88 And up style 15" steelies with 255/70's on all four corners. It's a 5/6 drop with 88+ axles in my '84 10 bolt which makes the rear wheels stick out around 7/16" on each side.

[Slammed84]

Awesome trucks so far guys. I wouldn't be ashamed to own any of them. The 88-98 sport rims are 15x7 im unsure of the backspacing although I know its different that the OG rallies I usually run. I think I'll be okay just running a smaller tire on front.
Just need to figure out what size!

Keep the pics comin guys!

5/6 drop front is 15x8 with 255/60/15 rear is 15x10 with 275/60/15

[Titomars]

Here is mine. The front was dropped by the PO. I figure it has 3 inch drop springs in front. The rear was dropped by me. It has 3 inch lowering shackles and I removed 2 leaves from the spring packs. front tires are P245R60/15 and the rears are P275R60/15. The rims are American Torqthrust D's front 15X8 rear 15X10.

[bbbc10]

Dang it man, I really needed that stuff ( not the spindles though) lol...thanks to the OP, I was originally going to go with a 3/4 drop, but after seeing this thread I'll be going with a 5/6

Cool truck Tito! Does it run good? Is the 454 still stock?

Thanks slammed! It is a factory 454 and it runs like a scalded ass ape on steroids. It is basically stock. It has an RV cam in it also roller rockers topped with an Edelbrock performer manifold, MSD pro billet dizzy and tri-Y headers. I can't wait to dive into the engine but I have to finish up a project on my CJ7 first.

Well my dream is to get one of those GM crate 502's. For right now I just plan to get the 454 to breathe a bit better. I sure would love to go for a ride in yours with the 498. I am sure it will scream.
