Silverado2469 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ok so I just lowered my truck, did a rear flip kit, front LCA's. so I had bought my rims/tires before I lowered it so I could put them on right after. Well. They are a little wide, rims are the eagle alloys. Not sure on back spacing. They were used, and I didn't check before hand. Tires are 275/55/20. So I put them on and the run on the fenders. I have a stepside. So the bed is fiberglass. Not sure what to do. It's only about about 1/4-1/2 inch tops to wide. Would a 255/45/20 or something like that work?

Silverado2469 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like a 265/45/20 will be about .4" less wide. Which should be enough to clear the tire. And be almost the same sidewall height. Sucks gotta buy new tires after just buying new ones. Any other ideas instead of new tires?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverado2469 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Luckily a family member is a corporate manager for Firestone. Some I'm gonna get the Firestone destination ST. Not sure on a price yet waiting for him to give me a call back. But I'm hoping around 600~. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverado2469 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 My new tires. Firestone destination ST 255/50r20. They work perfect. No more rubbing. And they drive amazing! I didn't realize tires helped that much. It's crazy. So far 10/10 for the tires. Well worth the 850.. Just gotta c-notch the frame and it will be back to stock riding.

Silverado2469 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Be sure to post more pics of the rims on the truck. Excited to see the drop with the 24s. It's only got 20's on it though. Haha. And I'll post some up later today. After I get the front another 2" lower to level it out.

Silverado2469 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Idk haha. I don't like rims bigger than 20's-22's top. I think they are to big. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
