Show me your 20s! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

shrunken66stroker · 03-22-2009, 12:39 PM

I'm looking to put 20" rims all around and need to see some pics of how they fit. Include the width, back spacing and tire size.
Thanks

SIR · 03-22-2009, 01:32 PM

IMHO...these trucks look awful as...."DONK"...and so do most of the others....

shrunken66stroker · 03-22-2009, 02:07 PM

I didn't say, show me your 26s. Agreed about donks. I'm not lifting it up, I'm tucking them in.

protrash64 · 03-22-2009, 02:10 PM

Here are my 20's: 20x8.5'' 5.5'' backspace. Little tite in the rear but workable.

SIR....... this is a DONK.......20's dont even qualify

SIR · 03-22-2009, 02:13 PM

...got it...point taken....

protrash64 · 03-22-2009, 02:15 PM

......ridiculous huh?

fercho71 · 03-22-2009, 02:24 PM

Godzilla, godzilla !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shrunken66stroker · 03-22-2009, 04:04 PM

that car is redonkulous. That burb looks great protrash. That's the stance I'm looking for. Do you have any pics from the side so I can see how they tuck? Is it bagged?

protrash64 · 03-22-2009, 05:47 PM

Yeah its bagged, but not notched. Tires are 275/45/20....so roughly 29-30'' tall. The fronts sit on the inner fender, the rear on the frame. It wasnt my goal to be on the ground, just bagged with basic stock components.

shrunken66stroker · 03-22-2009, 11:08 PM

Where does the tire hit on the inner fenders? On the inside of the wheel first or turning? I don't have the wheels yet but may have to do the mods before I get them. How do you think I should clearance the inner fender so it doesn't rub? I have a notch in the back so I'll sit a little lower but I'd like my truck to look like this pic at ride height.
Beautiful CarryAll BTW.

protrash64 · 03-23-2009, 12:02 AM

The tire is resting against the inner fender directly above the hub, where the fender rolls over to horizontal and meets the inner fenderwell. If you want lower you must remove the inner fender and trim the fender edge...then you lose the hood hinge, also. You could build a tub, which is a popular option.

shrunken66stroker · 03-23-2009, 12:37 AM

I've seen pics of tubs I think. That's probably the way I'll go. Thanks

shrunken66stroker · 03-23-2009, 03:53 PM

Are you the only one on this site running 20s all around protrash?

protrash64 · 03-23-2009, 07:58 PM

I would find it difficult to believe if I am

. I have 18's on my pickup. Dinos63 runs 20's and 20/22 combos. His trucks have custom suspension, however.

Post up some 20's people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

protrash64 · 03-23-2009, 08:14 PM

I saw you mention rubbing here and on Dinos thread. I have no rubbing issues if you dont include the fender on the tire when its aired out

. Turns are no problem ....can get a little rub when extreme turning due to my bump/steering stops removed.

Dont run tires larger than 45 series and you'll be fine. Discount tire direct has a tire size calculator you can use, FYI. Punch in #'s all you want.

62ChevyStep · 03-23-2009, 11:39 PM

here is mine 20x8.5 5.5BS Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's

tires are 275x20x40 front 275x20x45 rear

shrunken66stroker · 03-24-2009, 11:52 AM

Thanks 62step. I'm looking for more..... Anyone? 20s?

shrunken66stroker · 04-12-2009, 02:36 AM

Last call for 20's all around... anyone?

TwiggyTheDrummer · 04-12-2009, 11:37 AM

Here's some pics of the front end with the wheel on but I haven't put longer studs in yet so I can't put them on and let it off the jack. But I will be running the 20's all around with matching Kumho 275/45/R20's. And the truck is at stock height though I'll probably do a 2" drop down the road.

LinkbeltOE · 04-12-2009, 03:29 PM

I want to do 20's also but want the staggered look, deep in the back and shallow in the front.

Kmart2352 · 04-12-2009, 05:17 PM

Here a pic of my truck with Boss 303 Wheels. 8.5 in width and the tire is 275/45/R20.

shrunken66stroker · 05-16-2009, 02:04 PM

I'm reviving this thread because I'm about to special order some rims and I won't be able to return them once I get them. I'm ordering 20" rims that are 8 1/2" in the front and 10" wide in the back. I need to know if anyone has back space measurements so these rims will tuck in after the air is out of the bags. I'm thinking a zero offset on both front and back will work but I'm not sure. Anyone?

64shortc10 · 05-16-2009, 05:05 PM

Heres mine dont know the backspace tho!

That's what I'm looking for. Could you possibly measure for me? From the back of the mounting flange to the inside edge of the rim. Are yours 8 1/2" wide all the way around?

I put mine in up top at 5.5''.....I would suggest 5'' min on the 8.5'' wide rim. The 10'' your on your own

. I would spend some serious time with a tape measure.
