Wheel and Tire Size - 17X?

[Kopper]

I have an 81 pickup, 2 1/2" drop spindles in front and drop hangers and shackles in the rear. I have the parts they are just not installed yet.

I like the looks of the Torque Thrust rims and I'm looking at 17's. If anyone is running these would they mind giving me their wheel and tire combination. A photo would be great if you have any.

Thanks,

Ken

I'm running 17 x 8's on 255/50R's. 4" of drop in front and 6" out back.

Thanks Mike!



Grande Rojo,

Do you know what the BS was on the 9.5 wheels, and were there any clearance issues with the 275/60/17's on the rear. Being that my truck is a long box I'm leaning towards a little less drop and 60 series tires. I'm considering 255's on the front.

Thanks,

Ken

5 1/2" bs on the 17x9.5's
no problems rubbing with a 5" drop but when I lowered it 2 more inches it rubbed a little (very little) when I would turn into a steep drive way. I think the only thing that was rubbing was the raised lettering on the tires.
