Re: C10 Back half an 26's

Just figure out the overall height of the wheel and then make the back half a couple inches higher than the center to clear the axle. also, what year c10? You might need to narrow the axle with 26s, and they might also sit higher than the bed if you plan on body dropping it.

We talking 26 inch rim or 26 inch tire size?Basicly figure out how tall of a tire will be used and cut out circles in plywood drill out your bolt pattern and use them as mack up wheels.

Tire size is what matters. Determine your tire size and build your notch accordingly. Also consider the width and backspacing of your wheel to determine width of the frame between the tires.

I assume you would be running a 275/25r26? That's what my friend has on the back of his Suburban. It's 31.4" diameter. Big tire but still looks like a rubber band on the wheel.
