I have a 72 swb with bags and mini tubbed. I'm currently running 18x9 wheels with 4.50 bs on the rear and using 255/45/18 tires. I want to run 20x10 wheels but i dont know what bs to use?? I want them at least as deep as I have now with maybe a wider tire as well. Any suggestions??? I do want to be able to tuck the tire in the wheel well.

Nice looking ride! Hey, I'm in Oregon also, actually looks like a neighborhood I know! Wondering if you could maybe answer some question as they come up as I put my truck together. It's my first.

In the rear, the Boss 338's are 6.225 BS. These shots show them with the 1" spacer (to clear the inner fender wells and bring them out a little).
Notice that the truck is up on stands on all four corners.

Not too radical running 275/45R20's.

The fronts are 20 x 8.5 . I can check the BS on those if you like.

18x9 with 4.5" BS = 20x10 with 5.5" BS (because the wheels are 1" wider)

I have 5.75" BS with a 315/35/20 rear tire. It's a very very close fit with the air bags dumped.
