Oh yeah, I forgot that if I'm running teenage inners than the wheels won't get any closer to the frame. And to run a c&c rear I'll have to move spring mounts etc... I do plan on bagging this beast eventually, I have all the stuff for the front. But for now I just wanna sit low, with big wheels.

Do the 24s destroy turning radius with the factory 1 ton hubs and arms?

Is a 245/30/22 too small a tire to run on a truck this size? I only ask cause I already have a set of these tires kicking around.

Chevy truck have a terrible turning radius anyways no matter if you have stock wheels or big wheels. You will lose a bit with bigger wheels but not much.

I would think twice about running that small of a tire because the first pothole or bad bridge interchange they are done. I had 255/30/22s on my boddied Chevy and we had to swerve/slowdown to miss everything in the road.

Welcome fellow BCer :)

What size drop do you have? I have a 92 Extra Cab dually and have been debating what drop to do on stock 16" Alcoa wheels.
