F150 SUSPENSION GURU
Ok pretty much wanting to do what this guys f-150 looks like, but a few differences ( after i get back from afganistan) I'm lookin at a 3/5 drop by djm, but I have no idea what sort of room that will leave me for rim and tire size. Can any body please help me out? ( long time raised fan, but new to the whole street truck scene)
im good friends with mike/jeff/mark at djm so can help you out. if you do the 3/5 drop what size wheels are you looking at?

see thats the thing, im just trying to figure that out myself, because when it comes to rim and tire size, im completly lost. as sad as it is to say, all the numbers and meaning just confuse the hell out of me.

IIRC when you lower the truck measure on a good solid flat surface from the ground up to the top lip of the fender. This will give you an idea of how big of a diameter you can go and still turn. It's not going to be precise but it'll give you a starting point to look

I would like to set it on some 20's i cant really measure right now, due to the fact im deyployed to afganistan, and the truck is with a good friend who is nice enough to take care of it to me. but when it comes to tires, what do all the numbers mean as well? because like i said when it comes to tires, im bout as lost as can be, and with getting diffrent tires for a custom truck, cant always go off of what mom/dad or friends say anymore.
Set a size wheel your after and then we can help from there. Usually a 22 will fit on a super low profile a 20 looks good and will give you a pretty good sidewall so decide on the wheel then we can help you get an idea of tire size.
