Wheel Backspace question.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Racie · 06-04-2010, 08:48 AM

I have a chance to get some custom 3 piece forged wheels already built I think we need 5.5 backspace on the rear. If I want to run these wheels would I have to run a spacer or do a mini tub?

Here are the measurements:

19 x 8.0 Fronts: 5” X 5” (127 X 127mm) Bolt Lug Pattern

4-½ “ (114.30mm) Backspace

0 Offset 4”/4”

20 x 10.0 Rears: 5” X 5” (127 X 127mm) Bolt Lug Pattern

4-½ “ (114.30mm) Backspace

1“ Negative Offset 4“In/6“Outside

4.5 rear back spacing should be fine. New axles or redrilled to 5 lug?

It's been re drilled to 5 lug! Thanks for the help I got a smoking deal on the wheels and didn't want to pass them up. The guy ran them on an early 5 lug tahoe show truck.

Cool. What model are they?

Racie · 06-04-2010, 10:14 AM

Billet intro I believe the GT-5 wheels. Polished with matte black centers.
