20" wheel backspace needed - tire sizes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am wanting to purchase a set of rims for my 85 and want to make sure I get the correct backspace. I dont want the rear tires to sit in like the originals. I will probably do a 20x10 and a 20x8 combo. Tire sizes will also help, it has a 2/4 drop. Thanks

Plans to lower (that effects BS choices)?
Tire sizes desired (28"+/- in front/rear)?

That's the point of the quote.... Keep It Simple Stupid (the kiss principle).

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
