I thought I had back spacing figured out and when I started talking to wheel companies they asked about offset which proceeded to blow everything I thought I knew out of the water. I am sure there is a lot of different choices on front, back, back spacing, width, diameter and offset. I am just really frustrated on my search for a tire wheel combo that won’t cost more than I paid for the truck. Can anyone help me out? Looking for a good set up for 20’s with a 6 lug for a 67 step with a 3-6 static drop. I don’t have a retailer close so I have to order them and have them delivered so I get only one shot at this. Thanks for listening.

This may help you out some.

It took me a while to get the offset thing in my head but this calculator really helped me. I have 20's on my 67 fleet that are 10" wide front and rear. 275x45 tires The rims are both 0 offset making the hub basicly in the center of the rim. I got the rims cheap so I decided to make them work. With this calulator you can see what difference a change in offset does to the distance from the rim to the inside and the out side of the rim. You can also change the width and see what difference it makes. With my setup I had to add a 1.5" steel spacer to the rear and nothing in the front. My rims are closer to the outside of the fender than i would like but there is nothing rubbing so I am happy. I have bags and dropped spindles making the total drop in the front about 3-4 and the back 5. Nothing radical it's just what I like. Hope this calculator helps you to understand the + and - offset and what effect it has on backspace.
Here;s my 67
