Rear wheel fitment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Assuming the right offset, will a 20x12 rear wheel fit between the factory frame rails and still tuck in the box sides?

Raceline billets going on this truck soon. He would like to run the widest rear possible without widening the tubs or narrowing the frame. The rear will come down another inch or two aswell.

To answer your question, yes and no. You can do it with out cutting the frame, but not with out wider tubs. Tell him to do a set of those massive 24's on the rear.
