Ok. I have been looking into it a lot lately. Im going to buy the wheels and tires I want and put them on the truck. Take out the stupid front spring spacers the PO put on the truck and then lower it 2/4.
I want to put 20's on without having to cut, bend, or weld anything. So I have read that 20's can do that on a spring 2/4 drop.
Im looking at 245/45r20 on the front and 275/40r20 on the rear. This should keep the tire heights close to the stock 235/75r15 by like 0.7% or something. (.76 front and .69 rear). So I should be looking at I think 8 inch wide front wheels and 10 inch wide rear wheels.
What offset/back spacing should I be looking at? I want the wheels as flush to the outer wheel well as possible but I want the centers to look like they are even. (Have you ever seen a german car with a wide back wheel but the centers are sunk in on the rears but the front centers are flush with the wheel well... thats gross.)
