Calling all fleetsides with 20's.....lets see em please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

towbar · 08-18-2012, 01:38 AM

OK guys, this may have been run aground more than once but I searched and didn't find it so here I am. I'm trying to decide on which wheels to go with on my 72 fleetside shorty, going to do a 4/6 drop...maybe even 5/7 and I'm sure I want 20's all the way around. However I cant decide if I want Boss 338's, Coys, Torque Thrusts, Billet Specialties or something other than these. Help me out and post up some pics of what you're running.... any backspacing info you have would be great as well. Thanks for the help everyone!

big d's red67 · 08-18-2012, 12:15 PM

here is mine. 5/7 drop. 20x8.5 4.5 backspacing on front 20x10 5.5 backspacing on rear.

big d, looking good, nice stance!
is that a static drop on your truck (suspension only, no bags)?
you have any rubbing issues in the inner fender wells?
are those intro wheels....sorry so many questions but the last one of these trucks I had was running the old scool rallies and 275/60's

Yes it is a static drop no bags, I have 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and 2 inch springs with half a coil cut on the front and Porterbuilt 3inch lowering trailing arms with 4inch lowering springs in the rear. I have had no problem with rubbing in the front but I wish I would have went with 5 inch backspace, the rear is tight on the inner tubs but no rub. The wheels are Boss 225. You can never ask to many questions thats how we all learn, I'm glad to answer any that I can.

Thanks for the answers Big D.... lowering combo and wheel size is definitely something I'm gonna consider.....spot on stance!

Would love to see some 20" Torque Thrust wheels on a truck. I'm 6 lug and if I don't go with steel/dog dish that would be what I'd like to do.

yeah, grey centered 20" torque trusts were my first choice.....I know they have become "run of the mill", but they have a classic look and I still love them, and they look sweet on ol trucks!

Big Block 454 · 08-19-2012, 03:27 PM

Just put the Boss 338s on. 20x10 rear 5" backspace 295/45 tires. You wanted to see 20s and the fronts are 18" so don't look at them haha

lol, gotcha!! just put a piece of paper over the right side of the screen so I didn't have to look at the 18's....all joking aside, very nice truck, the 338 look killer on it...nice job!

jwall, that sucker is the daddy rabbit for sure!!! I'm really liking the wheel/tire fitment on your truck....how there is no fender well gap.....is your truck a typical static drop or a bag setup? you know what backspacing your running?

She really looks good!!!! What size tires are you running? thanks Fred

magwakeenercew2jh · 09-15-2012, 11:05 PM

One for the stats. Two for the stance.

Oh, I forgot....1" billet spacers in the rear. The Boss 338's are the old backspacing. I don't remember what they are, but that's all they had for the 10's when I bought 'em about 2 1/2 years ago.
I'd go with 275/45 all around if I did it again. 1.25 spacers in the rear and move the 1" spacers up front. For now, I'm $ticking with what I have. Looks pretty good to me.
