LOL, thanks! No front bumper, either.

If you drive it low (more than a typical static coil w/block drop) & need the wheel opening lip trimmed to ensure clearance, the seam between the upper/lower bed half is @ the same dimension. You can't just roll it for clearance so it becomes more work required. Like I stated about earlier responses, what might work for one truck might not for another based on what parts are used & how low/what the owner considers low. Based on the trucks I've done, this truck has a very mild drop & not what I would consider a 'bagged' ride.

These are what I consider 'bagged' ride heights.....

You're as low as I'd want to go.

Scoti
I think i may be close to those heights, maybe not that low because (I could be wrong) i think to get that low you really must do some drastic changes on the from cross member. I am leaving the front cross member as is but installing tubular upper and lower a-arms cupped for bags and the rear i am c-notching it, but not to an extreme. |

The math can be done to get a better 'guess' of possible interference.... How tall of a rear tire is in the plan?

Honestly, i am not sure yet. I am not set on any size really, not to tall, yet not to little. I know that is could be a wide number, but i am also looking at maybe running 18", 19" or 20" even, but the part i really am sure about is the 10" width. By the way, thanks for your time here. |

This thread can be helpful for deciding on size:

Re: Will 15" x 10" wide rim with 4" backspace fit with stock rear?
So here is the Rims i am looking at.
Ridler 695 Series Matte Black with Machined Lip Wheels 695-8973MB - Summit They are 18" Rims and 9.5" Wide with 5.5" Back spacing. After all that i have read here and the research i can do, i still am nervous if these will fit. I think they will, just not sure how close to the outer fender i will be. Modifying the inside fender and bed are not a concern, just if it will hit the outer fender. |

With those numbers, hitting/rubbing on the outer edge of the body shouldn't be an issue.

For the Fronts now. Would the same 20"x 9" Rims with 5.5" backspace work?

What spindles? What a-arms will be used? Are they narrowed vs. stock? What tire size? 5.50"bs is aggressive up front. Watch-outs would be possible/probable a-arm, sway-bar, & possibly the frame or shock interference. Beyond that, the visual aspect needs consideration. The track width is impacted by wheel width & back-spacing. You'll want to know where you are for one end to "match" the opposite end appropriately. 'Too narrow' of a front track width w/a rear track width that is as wide as allowable (because of sheet metal) may not 'look' right (or good). The opposite is true as well.... a narrower rear foot print vs. the front looks awkward & not well planned. Bottom line, more info needs crunching before saying yes/no to your proposed combo working.

Re: Will 15" x 10" wide rim with 4" backspace fit with stock rear?
Ok, i am ready to buy rims and after much consideration, i think im going with a set of "20 x 9" and 4.75" backspace for the rears and then for the fronts 20"x 8.5 and 3.75" backspace with low profile tires. These are transit style rims offered by summit. I want the raw ones then i will powder coat them black with the edge coated white.
Thoughts? |

Personally not liking the BS listed on the front option but it would likely work/function.

My estimate is you're front wheels will be similarly placed as the ones in the pic from Post #18-19...

Re: Will 15" x 10" wide rim with 4" backspace fit with stock rear?
I have a question related to the original post and didn’t want to create a new thread. I figured it could help being here. I’m trying to buy wheels for my ‘65 and need to take the proper measurements first. Problem is, I don’t have brakes yet due to the fact that I don’t know if I can fit the wheels I want on my stock width 12 bolt. If I can, I’ll buy disc brakes for the 12 bolt and take my measurements. If not, I plan to buy a narrowed 9” and buy brakes to fit. I’m new to this, so how do I figure this out?

Let's start w/what you want (what you're wanting to accomplish)? Is there a certain look you want? Certain diameter?

Re: Will 15" x 10" wide rim with 4" backspace fit with stock rear?
For the rear I'm wanting to go with the Raceline Classico in a 20x14 with the MT Sportsman SR 29x15 tire. I have disc brakes on the front already and can get the measurements I need...so I'm not too concerned about that. Mainly talking about the rear.
