I have seen the sticky, but don't think it is good for a 7/10 drop. What specs would be ideal to tuck tire? I can roll fender lips and remove liners on the front, back needs to tuck into a step side... so what are you hardcore staticers running??

There is a truck at 4/6 or 5/8 in Canyon with them or something very similar and it looks awesome. But from what I have read you would have to have a tiny tire and limited turning at that low of a drop... *****, what offset/backspacing are your wheels?

Oh man. I'd think that a 7/10 on 20's would be damn near impossible to drive. Not saying it couldn't be done, though.
But I couldn't see me driving it a lot or even very far. Maybe I'm just getting old!
Along with the ride characteristics of a 30 series tire, (ouch!) I'd find that the lack of tight cornering would be frustrating.
Trying to power park it on cruise night? PITA!
Speed bumps? Even at 4/7, creeping over the monstrosities they build around here, I grit my teeth, & clench the butt cheeks!
But, it'd be one more reason to avoid the Walmart parking lot! Hehe!
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you shouldn't do this. Actually, I'd like to see it if you do do it!
I'm just an old guy. I've grown to like being comfortable! Maybe a bit lazy, too! Lol!
I've learned that if you push the limit, sooner or later you're gonna find it! (mis-spent youth! got scars! pain killers, too!) Even 6/8 is awful low! To me, anyhow.
Why not body drop it? Yea, a lot (a LOT!) of work! But you could get that lowww profile and still keep it static, with a decent frame height, & still run the 20's. 18's'd be better.
But even doing that, it'd still have the reduced turning radius. Fun on the highway, though!

22 inch Boss 304 9.5 inches wide with a 20 mm offset. If my math serves me correct then it leaves me with roughly 5.54 inches of backspacing. (Width/2 + offset right?)
