20" rim question
Does anyone run the same offset rims front and rear? I was interested in running a 275/40/20 front and rear. I'm running a modest 2.5/4" drop. My truck is a 71 c-10 w/bbc 4l80e front 5 lug. It's set up for daily driving/sport touring.

Re: 20" rim question
Most people i know run a staggered set up with wider rear wheels.

Re: 20" rim question
I guess I'm just weird like that. I want to be able to rotate my tires and run the same size. If its not possible then I'll stagger them.

Re: 20" rim question
Its possible, it all depends on how you want your truck to look

Re: 20" rim question
I like how it looks with the 15x8 rally's but I want bigger brakes.

Re: 20" rim question
Is anyone running a 275/40/20 on all four corners?

Re: 20" rim question
A 275/40/20 is 10.83" wide. The sidewall height is 4.33" tall.
That's a big ole tire for the front, even with a mild drop, your BBC adds a little bit too. Most run 255/45 or 255/40 up front, depending on the drop. 8.5" wheel, 5.25"BS depending on a lot of other stuff. But, that will get you close. 255 is 10.03" wide by the way. I think the 275 might rub a little, especially if you push it hard into a corner.
