First thread evar...I think, ADD doesn't help.

I guess I'm looking for feasability what I am trying to do. I want to fit the largest tire I can (rear) on a 2000 s10 extended stepside, preferably a 295/45/17. I am hoping I won't have to do any surgery and will settle for a 275 if need be. What makes this more difficult is want to fit daggers and a 2-3" drop.

The goal is to create an import style illusion with plenty of forward momentum. If any of you spend time on the Bullet there is a car there run by Novi354, at least I think that's his screen name, Novi something, its a very unassuming, almost ricerish Mustang that runs 8's...

height wise, you shouldnt have any problems, even w/ the 17" rim and 2-3" drop.
the 295-45-17 is basically a 28" tall tire and i have 28x10.5's on the back of mine w/ a 2 inch drop, but the 295 width is 11.6"s wide and may stick out past your fender about an inch....I would go w/ the 275 and a 4.5-5" back space rim to even it a little w/ the fenders and give you a better turning radius...jmo...good luck

If its the one in your picture, it doesn't look like a stepside to me. Does that matter?
