CTSS Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I am thinking about lowering my SS with a 3/4 inch drop, I do not have stock rims on the truck they are 20" boss 313, backspacing is 5.264 and a 14mm Offset. I am running a 285/50R20 tire. Im just worried that if I do hit something that the fender is going to eat the tire or will I be okay?

throttlesteer Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Yikes, a 285 might be wide enough to rub with a drop like that. I'm running 275/45-20's on stock SS wheels and a 2/4 but they don't rub. Your aspect ratio will make a difference too.

Thats what I was thinking, these where on my old 4x4 silverado so I had some meat on the tires, I might be alright if i just get some new tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need a 255 45 20 to be ok and wont cut up lip. your better off saving up for the right wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
