Got new wheels (pics) need tire advice!
Finally pulled the trigger on a set of wheels for my 71' I went with the Vision Legend 142 20x9.5 and 18x8.5. As you can tell from the picture my truck has the squat look and I am trying to change that to the nose down (rake) without lowering the front or raising the rear anymore. I will get 2" with the wheels but I will need to get the rest with the tires and I want the lower profile tires so you wheel and tire experts fire away(pics would be great)...Thanks

New wheels will loo good
What drop are you running currently on the truck? Maybe try for a 29.5" rear tire and a 28" front tire? Hard to get the nose down with just a wheel/tire set up becuse you will be creating more fender gap.

The wheels themselves are 2" bigger.... your only going to gain 1" of lift not 2
