What size tires are you running and what drop...Please post picture!!!!!

[Hideintire]

Hello! I am looking for input on tire size and drop height. I had a '91 RCSB with 3/4 drop and 265/50/16 & 295/50/16 on 16x9 Corvette optioned gold-laced rims (circa 1986! Looked just like third-gen GTA rims). I sold it years ago and have missed it ever since! Well, I finally got around to buying a replacement, a '96 RCSB. I had planned to do the same drop, but want to change the rims. But the more I look and think, lower would be nice! I need a useable work truck, but it needs to look good. (I have a Duramax when I need to move cows!)

But , back to my request....

Will you gentlemen and ladies please post pictures (preferable side shot) of your lowered trucks with how much drop and what size tires you are running? I would be mighty GRATEFUL! I'm an old fart and I like my tire to fill up the wheel wells, without overfilling the wheel wells. Does that make sense???? That said I have a set of 18x9 Mach 1 rims that I think would look good, but finding a tire around 27-28" is hard to come by...So I would like to see what different size tires look like compared to different size drops.

And to head off a bunch of post...I am BLESSED (headaches and all!) to own an industrial machine shop...yes, 4.75" BC Corvette rims required spacers to fit. And yes, I will have to redrill or make spacers for the 4.5" BC Mach 1 rims.

Again, Thanks for your help!

I wish now i'd gone with the 5/7, instead of the 4/6 but my truck is a 4 seasons cruiser/ work truck. I wanted to make sure is was still functional but oh well could be another excuse for another toy.

Was told 4/6 on the kit I bought on Kijiji, I think the front is lower however.

255/35r22s on the front, 285/45r22s on the rear. Old pic but only side one I have right now!

Front: 255/30/22
Rears: 295/30/22
Belltech 4/5 The rear has custom fab'd lift shackles
Front and rears are almost exactly the same as the stock overall diameter, and my speedo is dead on.... At least until I regear the rearend. Most likely going to a 4:11 ring and pinion.

Sorry for the upside down pics, I have no idea why it does that or how to correct it.

i really like the 245-50-20s they decently beefy. look good IMO before they had 245-40-20 and IMO they where way to small!

the front was the tiny ones. rear was the larger tire. bigger tires fill the arches up much nicer!

You make me want 20s... I want bigger tires. Hate railroads and pot holes here :'(
