Tire and Wheel sizes for '72 Cheyenne?
I had a quick thought... I would like to put a 10" wide tire on the rear wheels. The guy at the store recommended that I don't go over 8.5". Anyone have any experience or input on this? I don't want to risk any problems as far as rubbing or anything. The wheel its-self would be a 20x10...

If it can't be done, no one has told my 72. They fit in there with room to spare.

Re: Tire and Wheel sizes for '72 Cheyenne?
Did I miss something? What wheel? What backspacing?
Boss 338s @ 20 x 10 need a spacer with a 6 inch drop on a 1/2 ton fleet. No big deal. But backspace is a big deal. My 20s fit great with the 1 inch spacers on the 71. Like I said, maybe I missed something. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Tire and Wheel sizes for '72 Cheyenne?
i know alot of people choose the Boss 338 for the price but another good looking wheel to consider is the Eagle Alloy 225 series decent on the price also...less than $300 a wheel and with the backspace you want..just a thought.

Re: Tire and Wheel sizes for '72 Cheyenne?
Yeah. 1" spacers. From a seller on e-bay. Polished billit. No trimming the studs in this application....or in yours.
I think the spacers were ~ $65 for the set of two. Now those wheels of Original-71's. Really, really nice. I like 'em. And $300/wheel certainly isn't over the top for 20's. But, I was on both a budget and looking for a sort-of retro American Mag thing. I think those look excellent on O-71's truck. But mine is going to have stay a rat for a while. I think I paid $820 for the set of four, delivered to y wheel guy's shop. That price included a little profit for his, I suspect. And the cost to me for balancing the new tires on the wheels....It would be nice if Boss offered backspace options on these 20's. But.........

Re: Tire and Wheel sizes for '72 Cheyenne?
Here's my '69, which granted has a narrower rearend but with the right BS (like original-71's truck) a 20x10 will fit nicely in a '71-72. 20x8.5 fits will up front too.
