? for those w/big wheels and air
I plan on getting 20s 8.5s and 10s. I will have full air. My measurments come up to 4.75 b/s for the front and 5.75 for the rear. Does this reflect what any of you guys have?
Also where is the best place to buy billet specialties wheels

Oh sorry i can't help you, but i'm interested in that too. Hey Cheyenne Super, keep in mind, 20's tend to look a bit oversized on our trucks even with the it laid out, take a look at slammed67's truck at www.jayspot.com his 18's and tires give that truck a perfect stance. Mind you that is just an opinion and we know what those are like!!

My rears are 18"x9.5" with 5.25" b.s. and the fronts are 18"x8" with 4.5" bs. The outer sides of my rear tires have about 1/4" gap or less when the bags are dumped. So don't go any less than 5.25"! Also be careful when choosing tire sizes. You aren't going to have much room for error.

Thanks guys
I have to have 20s to get the look I want. The wheels I want to run just don't command the respect and look in anything less.
My tire sizes are going to be 245/40-20 and 295/40-20. If I have the misfortune of a rubbing tire I will trim the wheel tub and pull the fenders if necessary. I have seen the wheels I want on a truck StreetTrucks mag. It was in the premier issue. They are Billet Specialties Legacy. My second choice is the Billet Specialties SLX 37. The hardest part is convincing myself to spend the $$$ slammed67 where did you buy your wheels? thanks

I want to run 20"X8.5" KMC Stealths all round, and 275/45/20 tires. Right now I have around a 4/6 drop, the tires are 30" tall. What back spacing will I be looking at? I figure around 4.5" all round?
