How low can you go... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

iceship · 07-28-2011, 10:52 AM

Looking for truck tucking 22 or bigger....... So how low can you go, cause I have seen trucks with 22 and drop the front 4in..... but I don't know the offset of the rims with no bags..... Looking to get my truck as loooow as possible with no rub in the front

You need to know what tire height you plan to have to determine if a 22" or larger combo will/won't rub @ any certain height.

4 in drop with a 265/35/22 and I would want to go much lower because I do scrub a little

broey · 07-29-2011, 01:27 AM

I ran 22's at this height for a week or so before I bagged my truck and it was fine, I cant give you exact dimensions but I think it was like a 5/7 drop

Same here bro...22 with a 5/7 drop. I did have to yank out the inner fenders.

Thanks guys.... I have lowered mine 2.5/5... I'm not going lower untile I fig. Out what set up I'm going to do... like to do a 22/24..... but I may say **** it and go 20 all around...

Stepper562 · 07-29-2011, 04:32 PM

Currently I`m rocking 20s bro. 6/8 drop. 245/40 and 295/40....you can easily do a 20/22 setup.

i run 22x9.5s boss 313s with a 285/35/22 and mine doesnt rub at all! my offset is 14mm! 14mm seems like its perfect because its not really tucked in and wont hit the fender lip! id do exactly what i did with maybe a lil smaller tire and have a stiffer shock to get rid of bounce! mine may be extra bouncy because of the extra weight of the big block tho! if i was you,id run 22s because 20s are alot more common and its nice to stand out! later man and good luck

iceship · 07-30-2011, 03:41 PM

Ok this is what I did.... I put 24s all around, I could only lower it 3-3.5 in the front........ I was not looking for anything that big but I found a deal I could not pass up..
