Looking for pics of 18 inch rims with 3/5 drop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 03-18-2013, 05:15 PM

I have my drop done on my 70 pickup but looking for pics of 18 inch wheels with that drop or 4/6 drop is close enough. Please post pics and let me know tire sizes. Just don't want to get the wrong size and regret it. Thanks

You're where I got my tire size from about 4 years ago when I bought them. Just finally got the 5-lug conversion done and installed them. Always loved how your truck sat.

Is that a 4/6 drop or what?

big_al_71 · 03-19-2013, 09:46 AM

Thanks "Toddrh1".......just say "no" to gigantic hoops and rubberband tires!....I like some sidewall. Like those rims on your truck.

"Badpurple"....Unfortunately I've had this truck so long I don't recall exact specs on drop. It is dropped with stepped A-arms, springs, and small blocks I made in the back to get it just the way I wanted. My guess is it's pretty close to a 4/6 and maybe just a tad more.

Assuming you have the wider 71-72 rear end housing?

My truck started life as a 70 gmc. I used a 72 donor truck for the swap to disc. Did some of the 70's have the wider rear already? I believe mine did. No issues i can see.

**CC69Rat** · 03-20-2013, 09:20 AM

Yep, my GMC is a 70 with the wide housing.
