First what I would like to say is, this is my first post on these forums entirely, and I am not sure this is the exact place to put this thread since my question can stretch over generations of Ford Trucks.

Here is just a little information of what I have. I had used the information from the older ford truck sections to put a 2015 mustang IRS and a 03-05 Crown Vic IFS on a 1993 Ford Lightning.

I have looked over a bunch of threads and got a bunch of good information, but what I am looking for is specifically for a DD truck, what is a good wheel/tire combination that others have used? I plan on putting a 400+ RWHP engine in the truck when all is said and done, it might go to the strip occasionally, but I plan to use this truck to whip through corners. I mainly post on national lightning owners club (nloc) under the same user name and was suggested to ask my question here since more people have done this mod. Right now I am looking at putting 20x9.5 wheels (svt gt500 wheels) on this truck, with tires being more race line type wheels (smaller side wall). The only other information I could add is, after the few mods I have done and a lighter engine is going in this truck (anything is lighter than a 351 with EOD4 lol) the truck will weigh less than 4000 pounds.

Thanks in advance!

 

Bump

Anyone really done extensive research into what the best wheel and tire combo for this front end would be?

 

Maybe the 87-96 subforum might have some answers? I understand that yours is pretty far from stock suspension wise though. Do those guys do the CV front-end swaps? I haven't spent any time in the other sections of this site really.

 

The crown vic front end doesn't fit in the 87-96 frame as a bolt on. I had only know 1 in the nloc board that had done the mod and all the threads I saw on these boards for this mod came from this gen and earlier. :/
