Default Wheel and tire combo for the rear?

How wide of tire and wheel can I fit under the rear of my '99 silverado with a 3/4 drop?
Please post pics and size's of your wheel/tires including back spacing.

Thanks, Sam

I would assume so...

it all depends on the BS of the wheel... there comes a point that the leaf springs get in the way...

You can go as wide as 10in with either 22's or 20's. Depending on the wheel size you get that'll determine on what series tire you can go with that'll look good on a 3/4.

I would like them to tuck. They will be an 18 inch wheel. I am going to be running the z06 style wheel I have 17x9.5's for the front already and was wondering if it was possible to fit 18x10.5's under the rear.

I think he means a Z06 style wheel not actaully the true z06 wheels.

I pretty sure you can go with 18x10.5's you got to be pretty dead accurate on the offset for them to tuck. That'll look pretty badass with all that meat back there. I'll go with a 305/40/18 for the rear.

no they are z06 wheels, I have a set of billet adapters

Any idea what the back spacing would have to be?
