07 Tahoe, What Drop For 26s?????

[baggedlvintegra]

Just finished dropping my Escalade on 26's...26x10 Forgiato's ~30 offset (custom 3 pc, dont release offset) with 305/30/26 with Belltech 2/3-4 kit for autoride. Here is the stance on mine with the rear spacers in (about a 3.5" drop I think)





No rear rubbing but some good front rubbing that I havent gotten completely rid of yet. You are limited with modding the liners in the front due to the windshield wiper resevoir and the mounts on the back side closest to the door.

As a side note, IDK about your girl but I would NEVER put 26s w/ 30 series tire on any women driven vehicle, the rims will be square in no time! Just my .02

How smooth is the ride lowered on 26's? Can you still tow with this setup or no? Not super heavy towing but a single axle trailer.

it rides nice honeslty. Also if you tow you can add helper bags in rear.

I tow a 21ft boat 3 times a week with mine. I do have helper bags in the rear.

Good choice! A little more meat on the tires and less chance of rubbing after the drop

Less chance to bend rims as well.

what kind of mpg's are people seeing being lowered on 26's? or even on 24's?

 

[Blazed]

Lowering doesn't really affect mileage and you can't really judge how much your MPGs will change because of rim size because everyone drives so differently.

Well lowering it should reduce the drag am I wrong? And I was asking what people were getting for personal numbers just so I can get a rough idea.
