Backspacing on a 20x10

I tried doing a search but no luck at what I'm trying to find. I'm helping a friend build a 72 blazer. He is going to run 20x8.5 and 20x10s. Has anyone put a 275-35-20 on a 10" wide wheel. Does it look right or does it look like it is being stretched over the wheel? Will a 20x10 fit in the rear without cutting up the wheel wells? What backspacing are you guys running on your 20x10s?

Re: Backspacing on a 20x10

fastbagged68... a 20x10 wheel will fit in the wheel well without any issues, but the BS will have to be spot on. Before I would take any BS from another members vehicle, I would measure once, then measure 5 more times. Each application can offer just the slightest difference... for instance bags vs. static drop. The rearend will shift when airing out so you have to accomodate for this change.

Just my $.02...

Be sure to get your buddy on the site, and we need some pictures before we can provide to much feedback.
