New wheels

Finally got the new wheels on, all work was done at DropsRUs in Pasadena Tx
Wheels are Racelines, 20x12 & 20x8.5, tires are 29x15x20 & 255/35/20, rearend is narrowed but I don't know how much, overall I'm happy with the new look.

Re: New wheels

I'm setting up my '72 LWB with 8.5 x 20", and 12 x 20". I've got the rear narrowed 2" per side and I'm planning on a mini-tub (but it isn't done yet). The tires sizes are gonna be 255/40 on the front and 315/35 on the rear. The BS has me a little concerned though.

What back spacing are you using on the front and the rear?

20x12 with 4.25 backspace
20x8.5 with 5.5 backspace

I don't know how much the rearend was narrowed though.

Re: New wheels

It's a crying shame that they don't take the stickers off at your shop makes it look so cheap

Truck was already tubbed from previous owner, tubs are 15" inside the bed, it easily has 2-3" between the tire and tub, truck still sits on original leaf springs
