Default Lowering my 88' suggestion for rim of set and tire size

Pics of different tire sizes and rim offset and size suggestions would be awsome. I'm lowering it 2 inches in the front and 4 in the rear. Any input would be awsome and appreciated

No I know but I have to order rims because I live in a little **** hole town with no nice truck stuff so I want to make sure I get the right offset so I don't rub. Everything is what I want tho. I'm getting pretty excited about my build. This is my first personal one so I'm going crazy with it. Thanks tho man

Over 2600 wheel mfg,CUSTOM WHEELS.COM will take you to all.For best fit stay with stock backspace and width(stamped on the back of rim)That will keep clearence in check.As for the drop same issue,static drop-air ride or nitrogen charged,choices are there .Set a budget.for what you want.The piggybank can empty real quickifyou go CRAZY!!!! U TUBE has somehow too's,check them out.Some ofthe above mentioned also deal with parts for lowering.Have fun with this learning experience,you can use everything on the next one.

Yeah I'm going with the belltech suspension. It comes with new spindles, shocks and I think hangers for the rear if I remember correctly.

ORDER a C-notch for frame 2-3 in along with bumpstops.If your roads are anything like ours here,bottoming out can cause frame and axle housing damage.Just a thought..
