Ok, so I've been looking around on the site here and have found a little info here and there about suspension drops and wheels and tires but nothing on my exact set up. I have a '93 standard cab, short bed 2wd truck. I am lowering it 5" front and 7" rear with 2" spindles and 3" LCA'S up front and 3" leafs and 4" blocks in the back. I will also have a notch for the rear. I have 4wd front fenders and will do the brace modification on my rear wheel wells to flare them like a 4wd bed. I am wanting a nice wheel and tire setup that looks great on a truck this low. I like the "stretched" look and am not sure what size to go. I've seen some 15's-18's that look great but couldn't find the exact wheel and tire dimentions. I'm not sure what wheels will fit with my suspension set up. I will also roll my fenders and remove the liners if need be. I am open to sizes from 15" to 18". If you are running suspension and wheels and tires like I'm wanting, let's get pictures and specs to help make the right decision on what I'm wanting and so others can see as well. Thanks!
Before you hack your bed up, there are no differences between beds on 4wd and 2wd trucks for 89-95. They are exactly the same. (In US anyway) Only the fenders are different.
Thanks guys, I'm not expecting a huge difference in the bed. I figured with changing the braces and rolling the fenders, I should have enough clearance to run some wheels and tires like I'm wanting without rubbing. I'm just hoping to see pics and specs from those who have this kind of setup...
I've seen the previous runner fenders and it's not what I'm looking for. I will have plenty of clearance when I roll the 4wd fenders I have for my truck. Sr.Solrac, I've been all through that thread and have found a few trucks I like the look of. There are no specs on the ones I like so I have no idea how to get that look. Also, with the suspension setup I will have, I'm not sure if a smaller size wheel (15, 16) will clear everything. That's where I'm needing g the help. I honestly love the 15x10 stretched look but can't find the info on everything...
Wile cruising around on E-bay I found some wheels I really like. Can anyone tell me if these will fit and if I will need spacers? My truck will have all the fenders rolled with 4wd fenders in the front. 5" drop ed front with 7" drop in the rear. 18x9 +25 with 225/40R18 18x10.5 +20 with 225/40 18
I'm thinking of running some 18's. 18x9 +30 w/ 225/40r18 18x10.5 +35 w225/40r18 Does anyone know if these will fit with everything is said I'm doing to my truck?
I appologize for the double postings. I do all of this from my phone and it act like it didn't post. I'm not a computer techy kind of guy.
If they will clear, I could run wider tires. With the suspension I will be running and being so low, having the narrow tires with rolled fenders all around and 4wd fenders up front, I want the tires to clear. I hate when I see a nice slammed truck and the wheels look super skinny and sucked in so narrow in the wheel wells. I'm wanting wide rims, with a nice lip and flush with the outside of the wheel well.
I wouldn't even mind going with a smaller wheel/tire setup and get the stretched look. I've read to s about those who think it's stupid and unsafe. If it's done correctly with no camber, it's not an issue. I've see some trucks slammed with 15x10 zero offset and running 195/50R15 tires. If this setup will clear the 3" lca's and 2" dropped spindles in the front, I would run them. Does anyone know if that will clear?
I just lowered mine more on 18" mb battles. They came off a dumped wrx then a dumped 350z so tires are way stretched. I'm lowered about 2 in front and 3 rear.
