Cool

. What are the details of your suspension??? Also I notice your exhaust is tucked up real nice!. Any info on that would be great also!

I do have to ride with the back a little higher because the tires will rub on the inside. I plan on extending the wheel wells about an inch or so.

295/50/20's and 255/55/18's I think, I will have to double check that. I copied the tire size from Danny Ewings post.

My truck is bagged with drop spindles and bolt in C-notch. I'm running chevelle headers, they don't stick out below the frame. I just ran the exhaust as close to the frame as possible and dumped in front of the rear end.

Sooo for someone running a static 5 or 6" rear drop would you suggest a different rear tire size?? Rubbin' ain"t good

I got mine from Summit, may not have been the absolute best price around, but never a worry when buying from them. I have two 17x8 and two 17x9.5 with 255/50 and 275/50 Nitto NT450s. Havent mounted them yet but they arent supposed to rub.

Those look really sharp man!! I bought some KMC SS to try something different, but now I want to go bigger, oh well. Looks good, keep up the good work.

Rims are absolutely beautiful!!!!!!! Truck is outstanding.

novajess1972 · 10-17-2006, 03:05 PM

Man, that truck is really sweet!!! The wheels look great. I had the same package on my 67 El Camino. Now running 20s on my 72 SWB. You did well, Grasshopper...LOL

novajess1972 · 10-17-2006, 03:17 PM

Just FYI for backspacing questions of anyone not looking to BAG their truck, but go BIG on the wheels. I am running 20x8.5 on 255/45-20 front and 20x10 on 295/45-20 rear with 4.5 in drop (2.5in spindles and 2in springs) in front and 5in drop springs in rear. The BS on the front is 5in and 5.5in rear. I have absoluely no rubbing whatsoever from full turn to turn.

sick truck

Raising the dead.

Wink- Do you think there is room in the rear for 1/2 inch less backspace? i.e. push the tire out closer to the edge. Maybe a spacer would help you ride a little lower in the rear.
