ok guys i am working on the body drop now, slowly but im working on it. Im doing the cab first and i know i have no problem tucking rims up front...no matter what size.
WELL ONTO MY QUESTION....
in the rear with a 2 1/2'' body drop.AND A STOCK/FACTORY REAR..will i be able to TUCK and clear a 17 or 18'' chevy, denali, escalade rim when layed out...truck will lay rocker.
Most of them are 7.5 wide. A +offset of atleast 31. and i am guessing a backspeace of 4'' or so.
thinking of going with 20's
most likely some sort of stock gm wheel.
PLANS ARE TO GET A NARROWER REAR....JUST DONT WANNA IF I DONT HAVE TO.....
i dont do fancy wheels....
TAKING ALL INFO HELP TIPS ETC ON THIS TOPIC.
IM NEW TO ALL THIS HOPE THIS HELPS OTHERS TOO.
Ive got 17 inch 2005 silverado wheels on mine. I dont know the exact offset but they dont tuck the front.
Well with my lcas and the way I'm bagging ...camber will allow them to tuck and be decent at taking not to harsh a turn....Quote:

THANKS FOR THE INFO/INPUT
ANYBODY NO ABOUT THE BACK TUCKING...
THANKS
The 17" escalades and denali will def tuck, the 18's are a little harder as they have the same offset yet are half an inch wider. The 20s and up will probably not tuck at all without work.
Thanks droppedmitsu. I'm prolly gonna go with an 18 ...if necessary ill go with a yota rear and gain 1/2" clearance ....if my math is correct. Plus I want disc. Brakes
I know for a fact that the Nissan Titan rims poke out a bit further then the escalades. I remember an old member out ours that was tucking 20s but that was with work done to the bed like a mild custom flare.
yeah if i change the rear at all it will just be a rear end--TOYOTA...ONLY GIVES ME 1/2'' THOUGH but it will help...
. no flare---well i dont think atleast. Thanks for the input guys.
i am thinking of running a 17x7.5 and they a have a 6 1/8'' backspacing...
ANY IDEA IF THEY WILL FIT...
yes, that is greater then +31 offset so they should tuck with ease
My friend likes the 2010 charger rims. I believe they are 17x7.5 and 5x114 lug pattern. Same as the Toyota.
not the toyota rear i am using...it is older year...6 lug. but narrower. disc brakes were an option also.....but wanna stay with what i got. SINCE ITS IN THE GARAGE ALREADY:)Quote:

The cop suv's here are Toyota 4runners with superchargers. Thoughs rims are nice too.
damn those sound like fun....what do the rims look like.......
Sorry, no pics. I'm on my iPhone. I went to the Toyota website and saw the 2011 limited model comes with 20's.
ill have to go check them out.....thanks for the info..
