I have a 74 k-5 and need help deciding what offset and tire size to run. I know you probably get this a ton but any help would be appreciated. it sits stock and i dont want to lift it a hole lot but it looks like it skipped leg day right now.

That what was on my stock 87V10 with tired springs and had no rubbing but check how tall your currant tires are and go from there.

Cool truck.
The orange light posse is in full effect!

My '75 has a 2.5 inch lift and clears 33x12.50R15 NP.

That's juuuuust about as tall as I care to go without having to use a step or some other bolt-on bull stuff what I hate and would NEVER put on my truck.... I'm six foot tall and can still get in it.

Next size bigger (4 inch lift and 35s) gets an easy 2 inches straight up and I dont want to do that without a step of some sort, so I learn to love that high. This is likely maxXxed out FOR ME. Top of the wheel at the bottom of the sill....it's juuuuust right, Goldilocks. The bottom of the bed is visible at the top of the tire...everything is correct.:imo:

I have the same question.

I have a 1985 chevy c10 with stock suspension. Here is a pic of my truck and here is a pic of the rims I'm thinking about. The size I was thinking was
Rims
20x9.5 (back)
20x8 (front)
Tires
295/40/20 (back)
245/45/20 (front)
