    You're really gonna have to tell us your definition of low. You can bodydrop and lay 20s with a lot of work.

    I suggest with staying with either 14" or 15" wheels. I'm running 15X7 American Racing Vectors with a 0 offset.

    What are your plans for your truck and your budget? I know a lot of guys who throw on 16" wheels, but I'm not sure how much it throws off their speedo.

    Let us know! We're here to help!

    This information right here hits the nail right on the head :bowdown:

    My 82 is bagged and b/d'd with 18's and it was a lot of work, trailor fenders, tubbing the firewall, ect. Just my opinion but, I personally would not put anything bigger than a 18 on these little trucks. I have to have my front end up at 60lbs and I still rub and my turning radius is limited, but it's worth it to me :D
