Has anyone used US Mags C-ten wheels?

Hi everyone! Has anyone used the US Mag C-ten 20” wheels? I have a 67c10. I’m wondering about any rubbing issues with 2.5” dropped spindles and 2” drop springs that I’m going to install soon. I’m going 8.5” wide wheels in front with a 5.03” backspace and a 7mm offset. and 10” wide in the rear with 5” c-notch and original trailing arms. Would I have to tub out for the back? I really like the look and by the name of the rim they are made for our trucks. Just wanted to make sure with all you wise individuals.

Are they offered in the correct 6-lug pattern or did you change rear axles?

Rear back-spacing should clear. Might be close w/the narrower pre-70 housing but should still not make contact. You should probably upgrade to a 'long' Panhard bar vs the short factory unit.

The fronts will work but might require some clearance work on the a-arm lip. It's a verify clearance upon install & make the necessary adjustments sort of thing.

While it's a decent looking wheel & might be called the 'C-10', that wheel is modern appearing & just doesn't seem to bring visions of a classic truck in my mind.

Thanks Scoti for you reply and pointers on what to look out for. That’s exactly what I needed to know. I am going to purchase the speedway rear axle kit to convert to a 5 lug eventually. I’ve only got it driving recently and it badly needs the front suspension redone. Still has the rivets for the upper ball joints. Ive had the disc brake conversion kit/suspension rebuild kit for a couple months. As for the wheels, I’m going for a restomod look. I know they aren’t the classic look that most enjoy. But I think these shoes will look good on her.

They will definitely look good.
