Default What size rim and tire do i need to tuck after lowering

I doubt there are very many ppl that have lowered or bagged there truck on this forum, but if anyone has any idea on a rim size with a tire size that will tuck under my fender wells please let me know. Im shooting for the Boss 335's but any rim similar to this will work. i believe all i will need is the rim offset/backspacing.


This is the site of the rims.

sorry this isnt related to your thread but i saw your description of your truck and it said it had 2 15% layer tint. so did you tint over a tint? i have a tint on my truck and want to tint over it but am not sure how it will work

yes, when i bought the truck i had only the front tinted 15%. i decided it was not dark enough so i tinted over the 15% with more 15%. So you can tint over tint, it doesn't hurt anything as long as you dont roll your windows down for at least 2 days.

Its lowered 2 inches on the front and 6 inches on the rear. I do plan on bagging it in the future. I want to go ahead and get the rims and tires so i wont have to worry about them after i have it bagged

Yeah its around 2% or 5% and i would agree and say yours would probably be around 20%.
