1966 f100 styleside long box

Doing a 3" drop on the front and a 6" axle flip on the rear of my styleside.
Question whats size tires will fit in the front without rubbing the fenders.
I am sure it's been asked before.But i want to do it right the first time.

Here's my 64 long bed. It's been dropped to my satisfaction. Not sure how much because I didn't measure before or after.
My tire sizes are (Front 235/45/17) and (Rear 285/45/17)
And no rubbing.

No it's a Volare front end. Power steering, disc brakes for a lot cheaper than the other two front ends. Pure old school.

Looks awesome for sure.I am doing i beam disk conversion 3" drop with axle flip and c notching for 6" in rear.I noticed your front end looked a little more narrow than stock.
But thanks for the ideas with the jag front end.

Do you know the offset of those back wheels you have on? The front look to be 0 offset but I'm interested in the rear offset.

Great looking truck too!
