18" Wheel Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NPilot1975 · 04-14-2003, 10:06 PM

I am looking for some backspacing measurements. I want to run 18" rims on my 72 Chassis, it has a short fleetside bed. I would like to run 295 tires on the back and 245 on the front. Does anyone have this setup on a lowered truck. I want to go as low as I can.

I've got 18's on my 94. They fit on my 67 just fine, with no clearance problems. I am running 245/40x 18 up front. However I think 295's might be a bit too wide. Im running 275/40x18's in the rear, these are 10" wide wheels. The fronts are 8". Tomorrow I can measure the back spacing if you like, its been so long I forgot what it measures. Let me know.

Slammed, your truck is what I am looking for mine to look like. Although, I am going to run a 67 Chevy doghouse. Could you go any bigger with your rear tires, I think you are tunning 285's. I want to run 295's. Thanx
