What backspacing for the 20/22 Coys

I'm about to buy some C-5 20/22 grey Coys. I was wanting to know what backspacing I should get.

Specs:

72 2wd Blazer, Disc up front, bagged in the rear.

I want the biggest "lip" I can get in the front and the rear.

On the front they offer either a 4 3/4 or a 5 1/4

On the rear they offer a 5 or a 5 1/2

Would appreciate the info.

My suggestion is 5.25" up front & 5" in back.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

You need to make sure that your rearend is from a '72. There was a difference between a few years, which will affect the outcome of the rear wheels.

Other than that.... SCOTI summed it up nicely.
