I've got a NBS ECSB with 18" Titans on Falken 265/60/18s (30.5"). I'm looking to do a 2/2 drop by the end of summer but I'll need tires before too long. They've lasted pretty long considering 40K of teenager miles works out to like 200K adult miles. :cool:

I like the look of the current tire size/wheel combo. It fills the fender nicely and I don't rub ever ever.

What kind of tire size can I run with a 2/2 drop? Plan on drop shackles in the rear and drop coils in the front for a budget drop. Would I be safe with another set of the same size (30.5")? It's pretty hard to find information on 2/2 drops since everyone tends to ditch the rake when they drop :gregg:

I would strongly suggest dropping your truck and then deciding what size tires you'll want I've personally dropped 8 GM trucks and they all their own little quirks and attitudes when you lower them, so to say your 2/2 drop will sit just like another truck is tough.

So drop your truck then see what tire will work. I think you'll be good to go with the tires you're running now. You're right, they fill up the fender wells perfectly.

Btw, that black wheel and grilled combo looks SIC, nice touch!!

I agree, drop it then see what will fit good, I think the size you run now will look killer with a 2/2, and gotta agree the black and grey is sick. Get that lower valance done though :read:
