Opinions from lowered truck owners

I will have about 5" drop in front and 6" flip kit with c-notch in the rear. Wheels are Original GM Silverado SS 20x8.5 with +22 offset. Question is, what tires size would be better for a decent ride but also not rub? 265 45 20 or 275 45 20?? Thanks

Front is done already.

i have the same front drop and 6" in the rear without doing a flip....i run 305/50/20 and they rub alittle on the inside wheel well on the back of the left side, during hard turning

Thanks dude. I will post them as soon as I get done with it. It's not installing that's taking too long, is waiting on parts. I did the front today and waiting on shocks to come in tomorrow. Front has a 5" drop and the rear 6" flip kit stuff is coming from the manufacturer in 2 to 3 weeks. I still have to get tires so no rush.

this is an old one but it has the drop

kev2809 · 07-04-2009, 02:54 PM

how old is that pic? that's a lot of accessories! I wouldn't run anything bigger than a 45 or 40. also depends on how much wheel gap your gonna have. you don't want super low profiles and still have a big gap.

Rays4x4 · 07-04-2009, 03:43 PM

Those tires look too big. I'm going for different look and I'm dropped a lot more then you in that pic. Most I would do for my application is 275 45 20. Nothing bigger.

My truck will sit this low.

low4x4 · 07-04-2009, 08:00 PM

thats because 305/50/20 are 32.5 " high...thats why it looks like your lower

Wow.

ray, i want pics

kev2809 · 07-06-2009, 03:16 PM

that looks pretty good. i would run 40's though. those 45's look good but would better a little smaller imo

gwhunter350 · 07-06-2009, 03:20 PM

i hope your happy when you get done lowering it lol

Bottom line: The more sidewall you have the better your ride will be.

Since you are a 4x4 the 5" drop in the front is going to equal out to a 3" drop on a 2wd. The 6" flip is based on a 2wd so that is like 8" to you. I'm betting your fenderwells are going to be like 30" off the ground, so you are going to need something even smaller like a 255/45/20.

I actually plan on dropping my 4x4 4/6 actual inches with spindles and keys and a remove the block and 4" flipkit for the rear, and running a 265/50/20 tire in the front 295/40/20 in the rear.
