I guess I'll be first.

16X7 TT2's with 4" backspace, 215/60/16 tires with MII front suspension, 2" drop spindles with coil overs, disc brakes, have 4-1/2" ground clearance at front crossmember.

17X8 TT2's with 3-1/2" backspace, 235/55/17 tires with Nova rear axle on leaf springs.

Here's a pic...Jim

Thanks. I just love the way these trucks drive. Fun running around back roads.

I have recently changed out the wheels and tires on mine.
Fronts are 215/70-15's 4.25" backspacing
Rears are 255/60/15's 4.25" backspacing
all suspension is 2nd gen Camaro, 10" diff. Front suspension I put on 2" lowering spindles, rear has 4 leafs/side with 1" lowering blocks. Also running a Gen VI big block for power. A Big block vs a small block will affect your stance.

Jim, what rear springs? Do you have lowering blocks? It doesn't look like it but I have to ask. That truck has the perfect stance if you ask me, exactly what I am after.

Brian, thanks for the compliment. My rear springs are the stock rear springs from my 1994 S-10 blazer. I put 3" lower springs on my blazer and used the old springs on my truck. Since these are wider that the stock truck springs, I had to change the front and rear hangers. Truck rides nice. I know there are several vendor that sell complete kit to change to the wider springs, which require you to cut the old rivets from hanges and bolt in the new hangers. Oh, and I'm running a 2" lowering block...Jim
