Re: Ideal backspacing?

When I hear questions about an 18" wheel setup, the first truck I think about is 'SactoJim' .. he is a forum member too.

Check out the article on CCT, post #1. This is by far the best 18" wheel setup I'm aware of. I love this truck. I think he might be a tad lower than 2.5/3 drop though.. but it would still look great IMO if you ran this same setup.

Do you know which rear end housing you have in your truck? There were two different housings available in these trucks. 67-69 were 1.5" more narrow than (late) 70-72 trucks. What I'm saying is if you use these same backspacing specs just make sure you have the same rear end housing he does or the backspacing will be way off. I'm not sure which housing he has...
