probly a 6 in drop with stock inner fenders

*Stitch* · 01-15-2010, 11:37 PM

no way...classic87 is about as low as you can go on 20s and he's dropped 6 in the front....I don't see how he could go 6 in the front with 2 more inches of rim on the top of spindle up front...

3r!c84 · 01-15-2010, 11:46 PM

oh sorry then.i didnt know that..but we needa know the tire and rim height

you can use a 255/30/24 and be able to still do a 5/7 drop i think. that tire has a small overall dimension.

I want a little more tire.Dont want to go to skinny of a tire.I was thinking about doing a 3/4 drop

Your not going to "tuck" a 24 unless you plan to have adjustable suspension. Run them with drop, but not tuck them with out rubbing.

I understand that .I just dont want no rub if I drop it 3/4.What u think

jdmathes074 · 01-18-2010, 12:26 PM

i had a 5/7 on mine with 265/35/22 which is 29.5" tall and had to take the inner fenders out and it still rubbed when i turned with a 255/30/24 which is 30" tall i would recommend probably a 3/5 but thats just me

bagged74 · 01-22-2010, 08:33 PM

this is 4/6ish, on 22s 265/35s

lokeondubs · 01-25-2010, 10:48 AM

I want to go with 275/30 24 with 3/4 drop.What yall think??

CLASSIC87' · 01-25-2010, 11:41 AM

I dont think it will look good... IMO.

STOCKISH · 01-25-2010, 11:53 AM

With that big of a wheel I would suggest removing the inner fenders and dropping it at least 4/6. Just my opinion but I think with the big wheels and minimal drop it will look like all the guys with the Caprices with 30s on them.
