20"X10" w/ 5.5" BS I believe with stock rear tubs, bolt in C-notch and ART rear air ride setup (danny ewing's truck if you want to search for more details) He did say it touches both the front and inner fenders as is. There is a mod (look up frizzle fry mod) for the front fenders that gets you an extra inch or so in the front.

I looked at his posts and he has a 72 so that's what I assumed...but who knows...

Here's his truck with 18's



Don't think that truck's going any lower with the stock fenders...

After reading posts by many with c-notches and 20's....going to a step notch with the stock wheel tubs won't get you nmuch/any lower. With the 20's and c-notch you're going to be almost/will be resting on the tubs already. It depends on the overall height of the tire though. You might get a little bit lower if you do that but I believe you would have to modify the inner part of the bedside to fit the wheel up higher.

Re: Anybody using 20'' wheels on bagged c10 with stock rear fenders???

if your bagged up front and have the cups cut out then you can go to a 29 1/2" tall tire before it hits the inner fender reguardless of rim size my front X memeber is about 1.5" off the ground dumped

if you have a 2.5" c notch you can run up to a 31" tall tire before it rubs

my set up is a 235 X 15 (29.5") up front and the front tires are about 1/4" from the inner fender with no wheel wells
my rears a 31x10.5 x 15 on the rear and they rub (they are pretty worn if they where new they woud really rub) not bad but I have about 3/8" before the axle is on the notch because it' sitting on the shocks

thats the info hope it helps

This is as low as you can get and not cut the bed. It has modified inner fender liners (rear) to get a bit extra, but the floor of the bed is intact and the inner wheel well is too.

Anything lower than this will require you to cut the bed, brace, fender wells, etc.

No, that is Lucy. She was built and owned by n2billet. He sold it and it has changed hands a few times now.
