Advice on HOTROD look setup

[rustolla61]

Bought a 2001 Chevy reg. cab 2wd 5.3 liter a few weeks ago and want to go with a hotrod look.I've been looking at tire/wheel setups and found one that might give me the look I want;Front-Kumho 255/55/16 tire with 16x8 wheel,Back-BFgoodrich 295/50/16 tire with 16x10 wheel.I also want to drop it some to take up some space between tire and fender.I don't want a big drop just enough that the tires fill in the wheel well nicely.I would appreciate any advice on how much to drop it and what system/company to go with.I would also like to know what you think of the tire/wheel setup.Is this setup going to give me the look I want without looking awkward?If it is or you know of a better setup that might work I would appreciate the input.

I think that set up will look fine. Just get a good looking wheel like a salt flat type wheel or a Torque Thrust. As for drop, I'd go like a 3/4, that way it'll have a little rake.

Right now I'm looking at Ion Alloy Style 165 wheel.You can check it out on carolina classic truck website.I think these wheels will look good on the tires I have chosen.

165 or did you mean 615(looks like a Torque thrust)?
