Biggest tire/rim combo with 4/6 drop

[polar]

Well now that I have purchased my 4/6 lowering components for my 1998 chevy c1500 extended cab. I am on to decideing which tire/rim choice is best for me. What is the widest rim I can run on the rear of my truck with a 4/6 lowering?

12 inch with the right off set.. but things will be damn close..

My black truck has 20X10, w/295-40's. 305's will fit with a slightly dif. offset.

How much is your black truck lowered? Also what size tire is up front?

 

[sewlow]

It's a 4/7 drop. Front sizes are 20X8.5 w/255-45's. The front & rear sidewalls are the same height.

I was thinking about running a 255/35R20 on a 20x8.5 rim up front and a 275/35R20 on a 20x10 rim in the rear.

That'll work. I didn't want to go to a lower profile tire, mostly because of the local road conditions, & I drive a lot. Fillings in teeth are expensive to get re-done! Lol!

Low profile tires aren't that had. My dad has low profile tires on his Lexus is250 and rides great.

It isn't the tires that make your dads car ride great though.

The brand of the tire made the ride different. His car came with pirelli's on it and he put bfgs on it. The bfg's had a better ride surprisingly.
