285/55/18 and 2/4 drop pics??
 
Is anybody on here running a 285/55/18 with a 2/4 drop on a rcsb by chance?? Or at least running a 285/55/18 with a 2/4 drop. Thanks guys.

Nobody has pics?

A quick search directed me to Moddoo's truck:
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...light=285%2F55

The truck doesn't have a 2WD 2/4 drop but at least it will show you the size of 285/55-18 tires. Those tires are about 30.3" tall, which is OK on a 2/4 dropped truck. Due to the width of the tires, you may have rubbing issues in the front when you make sharp turns. It really depends on the backspacing of the wheels you are running.

Well the wheels are the Cragar 18x9 Series 616 wheels. I believe the backspacing is 30mm if i can remember correctly. I like the size of 265/60/18 too, but I'm not entirely sure that would fit on a 9" wide rim.

They will fit. I ran 255/55/18s on an 18x9 and now on a 18x9.5 with no problems. The falkens fit the rims better with a more squared off look, but the nitto 420s tires I have now are more rounded and look to small. I wish I would have gone bigger.When I was dropped 3/5 I ran the 255/55/18s and they fit that drop good. Here is an old pic.

Anybody know what size tires these are? The wheels look like 18's, but I'm not sure of the tires. Looks like either a 2/4 drop or a 3/5 to me.

I know the tires on the truck are toyo proxes tires. I went on Toyo's website and checked what sizes they carried them in and they carried them in both a 255/55/18 and a 285/50/18. I'm guessing from what the width looks like in the pictures that they are the 285/50/18's. I don't know whether its a 2/4 or a 3/5 drop though. Anybody got any input? Thanks again guys!

They are Nitto 404's. Depending on how old the picture was, the fronts could be 255/55/18's, but if it's a newer pic, they are 285/50/18's. The rears are for sure 285/50/18's. Reason I say that about the fronts is becuase Nitto stopped making the 255/55 in the 404. And that is a 2/4 drop.

Here is my old truck with 255/55 up front, and 285/50 in the back, NT404's, and a 2/4 drop.....
