trying to lower my truck 4/6 need help on sizing rear tire on rims.

[Thatobs89]

I have an 1989 c1500 2wd I'm going to lower soon. My front rims are 15x7 235/60/15 (I know they'll fit) and the rear are 15x10 275/75r15 I just wanna make sure the rears will fit before I lower it and not have the correct tire for it or should I go with a 265/70r15 (I don't want any rubbing either)

If your 15x10 rear wheels have any less than 6", maybe 5.5" of backspacing, you're gonna have problems dropped 4/6

Ok thanks. Now I just wanna make sure before I buy another rim I’m looking at a 17x8 with a 4.5 back space will that be good and I think +14 offset? and my fronts at 15x7 with I think 3.37 back space will that work?

Are you wanting 17s or 15s

I’m going for stocks rn with a 235/70r15 then I’ll go from there. But later on I want to go with 20x9 squared

A 235 70 isn’t be best choice for a 4/6 drop

I've got a 265/70/17 (measures almost 32 tall) on the rear of my truck with a 4/7 drop. Wheel is a 17x9.5 with a 5.5 bs and I ever so slightly scrape the tire shine off the tire on big bumps. But I have more than an inch on the inside before I have clearance issues there
