Hey, Camar068 -- Hard to beat the wheels and stance on your truck. What's the front/rear drop and tires sizes?

Lordy I wish that was my truck lol. I pulled that one off the web.

Maybe an admin can add "The pic below isn't my truck" to my original post.

Lol @ cartoon trucks!
Bottom line is the two-tone, donky rigger nim is PLAYED.
Never looked good, was only trendy cool.

Stay far away ol boy. Save your money cuz the top ones are fresh and dont look like everybody else. Thats what's hot unless you wanna be a played out , carbon copy of the next guy whose truck wont get a second look.

You might! (want that)

God bless America.

I remember when passenger cars went from 15s to 14s, and even 13s for a lower, road-hugging look.

These days it's a sign of poverty if you don't have 20s or 22s on your brand new pickup. And don't say it's about performance, because NASCAR runs 15s and IndyCar & F1 run 13s.

Welcome to the future when you'll need a step ladder to get into your SUV. Wagons, ho!

No opinion on the looks but I vote for 17s just because of the rougher ride of 20s.

Yeah, I've been leaning towards the 17's because I haven't really seen them in anything else.
The 20's came with a parts deal I had.
I wish the 17" Novas came wider than 8" in that diameter. I would like to fill that rear wheel well up a little more.
I agree the style of 20"s have been done a ton.

For the 20" Ridler 695's what size tires do yall recommend? I have been looking to buy a set. Any offset from front to back?

Will a 2" Drop Spindle/2" coil spring drop in the front be okay with them? How far on the rear can I go with the 20"? I have done reading and searching but haven't really found a solid answer.

I like the 20" Ridler 695's. +1 vote from me!



I'm lowered 5" in front and 6 1/2" in the rear with no rubbing. The tires on the ridlers is a 275/40r20. Which I think is too thin (at least for the rear) if I was to keep them, I'd play with doing a taller side wall.
They are all 20"x8 1/2", if the rears were 10 1/2" wide it'd be an easier decision for me.

I always thought it is a zombie trick.
Obviously a larger diameter wheel forces better gas mileage. Monkey see - monkey do type ****.
I cannot explain the black wheels, much less two-tone garbage that multiplies like rabbits. Huge wheels are :imo: a result of 'global warming' "science".

Did you hear about the GARBAGE LANDSLIDE in freaking ETHIOPIA that killed a whole tribe?

We ARE living in Idiocracy. That IS the explanation.

It happens ALL THE TIME! I thought that place was all poor, famine, AIDS and ****... Where do they get enough garbage to landslide FFS? Why don't they burn or bury it?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/03/12/africa/ethiopia-trash-landslide/index.html
"Small fires erupt because of the methane gas the decomposing trash produces."

There is no difference between a garbage landslide and 26 inch wheels. -You can quote me on that. Maybe we should call em "rims" for the sake of argument. :doublepuke:

I definitely appreciate all the opinions guys, I come from the 4wd world and struggle with trying to get this street truck looking the way I want. Here's my last 2 Chevy's I built, total different look, I know with those I loved the look of 15" wheels and lots of sidewall lol

You can still put a wider tire on just the rear wheels.
