bust out the measuring tape buddie! 26"rims+tires=33-37ish tall tires. measure where it sits now (from ground to top of finder), then subtract the drop. there is other measurements u have to do. cant quite remember what and where.

yes the 26's will work but you'll have to run a tiny *** tire. They make a 275/25/26 which is still a 31.4" tire. A 305/30/26 is still going to be 33.2" tall. I don't know nnbs trucks nearly as well as I know nbs. The 275/25/26 will most likely work however that is a tiny *** tire and I would hate to daily drive it.
I'd be willing to be the 305/30/26 would rub too. I know for a fact it would in a 99-06 truck.

The wheels will need to be for the newer GMT900 platform since they require more offset. Unless the offset is in the 40+ range he wouldn't do any good by lowering it they would never tuck. I had 275/30/24s on my DD 1500 and it was 4-6, they were on billet wheels though and you would never get anything not custom to have enough offset to tuck a well as they did. Those tires weren't very bad to DD but I knew my roads very well. I have 305/40/22s on my wife's Yukon. Her truck is lowered 2-3 maybe closer to 3-4 and the wheels have a 30mm offset. They are 9.5 wide, they tuck nice so you would need something around 45mm offset and keep the tire diamter close to the same as my 305/40s and you will be golden. Though I think since he got such a smoking deal he should sell them and get some 24s and lower it more, the right 24 will look huge with enough drop

with the right offset you can run a 28 or 30 inch rim ... and you dont have to run no (tiny tire) my buddy lays frame on 26s with a step side...look for a 35-40 offset and they will tuck.. good luck
