bad ss Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I was wondering how big of a wheel i can install on my SS with the GROUND FORCE lowering kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSminneapolis Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 23s or 24s have been done with the spindle kit. i think it took a little work not to get em to rub though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdss Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I have seen a 98 Silverado bagged, body dropped, laying frame with 22's, if you can do that, anything is possible with enough time and money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisconsinSS Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Money seems to be the overwhelming thread here. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 and 23's and bigger just start to look a little silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssblackss Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Youl be Ok with 23's some have them on here I think even 24's but in my opinion and take it for what its worth 20-22's are the best option as money really does play into it. Go and put the rest into power mods and run 20-22's and have fun checking the miriad of wheels on the market Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Don't forget that SS on 26's a while back, that was way too big. The truck actually looked lifted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySSouth Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 I have my truck on 24's and alot of you who replied said 24's look silly on this post, but you posted on my truck and said it looked sweeeet >@?@?@?@ haha....i love my 24's...but as far as everyone saying that 23's is the biggest you can go for the Ground Force lowering kit makes no sense, theres a RED SS on this website with 23's with 305/40/23 Toyo tires, he has a MCgauphy's lowering kit...the over all height (diameter) of his wheels is 32.6''....the overall height of my wheels with 305/35/24 kuhmo tires is 32.4''....which means a 24'' wheel is smaller in overall diameter than a 23'' wheel with a 305/40 series tire!!!! So 24's can tuck, just as much as 23's, techinically more....considering they are .2'' smaller Jonathon K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could go back to when I bought my wheels I would get 22. There lighter,cheaper and most important they wont rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha....hmm you would get 22's???I had 22's on my SS before i got my 24's...im not sure why you would go back to 22's that makes no sense to me? For one your wheels are beautiful, why would u wan tto go smaller...For two, i had 305/45's on my 22's and I have 305/35's on my 24's...my 22's were 32.8'' tall, my 24's are 32.4'' tall.....as lonng as your careful because the tires are a lower series, and you dont hit pot holes or rub curbs, then youll be fine....its worth the look trust me, your truck looks killer....in fact your truck is the basis on my desicion for lowering mine..... jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
