Hello all. I'm just kind of curious as to what wheel size of wheel to go with. I am planning to take my truck to a local shop soon or possibly hit up Drops R Us to get my truck on coilovers for a possible 7/10 ish drop. Still need to figure out whether gonna go with 24x9 front and 24x10 rear or if I wanna go with 22x8.5 front and 22x10 rear.

Opinions and ideas are welcome. Local shop (California Customs) told me I need to figure out wheel size first before anything happens. Wanting a good amount of drop and no fender gap....some tucking will be great! Thank you all for reading.

Wait, coilovers? I had no idea coilovers was an option. you must be looking at a custom set up.

24x10 in the rear would be sick though!

A 7/10 drop will more than tuck your wheels.. I would love to see your budget on a drop like this.

Realistically a drop that low requires a complete bag set-up but if you Really are planning on static dropping it you're looking at all sorts of custom built parts and rear body modifications. For a drop that low I'd probably stick with the 22's. 24's with that would be good for shows only.

7/10 requires notching frames...doesn't it? That's a hell of a lot of weld and fab and test fitting and hours. You better NOT have a budget!

7/10 is not realistic without a custom airbag setup and LOTS of welding & custom parts. I wish you good luck and can't wait to see what you end up with.
