I know a few of you have performed the 3/5 DJM/Belltech swap, but its not low enough for me. I have to tell people my truck is lowered, and it doesnt have the look I'm going for.

This is where she's sitting right now:




Buuuut I have a pair of front drop 2" coils and a pair of 2" drop hangers for the rear to finish it off. I've rolled the front fenders and trim some of the inner fender to prevent rubbing, and I'm actually going for the cambered in look so I know that's going to happen. My question is: What size tires for a 5" front drop? I have 9.5" wheels and am currently have 255/70/15 on it that are too big for the drop I want. I'm going to buy a set of 235/60/15's and stretch them on the front to get the clearance I need unless someone has a better idea (Theyre only .5" narrower then the rims so its not dramatic, just no more outward bulge, and no I dont care about stretching/looks/dangers/etc, its going to be a show truck)

Here are a few trucks I found with random sized tires and the drop I'm looking for. I'd like to go with the stance the black truck has, but if I can get it as low as the grey truck without those ridiculously tiny wheels I'd do that too.






(Also Im going for handling with swaybars and a custom fourlink/coilover setup in the rear in the future so bags are out of the question) Thanks!

Also just out of curiosity can anyone make out what size the tires are on that grey truck?

Just call me Sean

You can still do bags with the four link. If you're going for handling then the cambered look in the front isn't going to work for that. The inner front fenders are plastic so you could remove them for more clearance. Make some new ones, leave it open, but you would have to relocate some stuff.



I don't know how much money you're looking to spend, but I was thinking of looking for a suitable donor for a control arm front suspension. You could mount that at the ride height you want with no camber.

I cant lower my truck the roads are so crappy up here in Maine you need all the suspension you can get but i can tell its lowered nice ride

Bump, no one know can guess the tire size on the grey truck?

TheCollector

Im guessing there 13 inch rims or something like that?

kaidotech

Theyre at least 15's. Nothing smaller would fit over an F150's brake assembly and hub. I know because mine are 15's and I have about 1/2cm clearance lol

Im thinking the dude but car tires on it because Ive never seen sidewalls that small.

Looking at your truck though (Collector), I had a question. Did you widen your fenders? Im debating doing that to fit larger wheels/tires and not tuck or rub them.
