PB Narrowed arms and 22s
If you are running this setup what backspacing/tire size are you running and what issues have you ran into?
I had the regular arms and 20s but have since switched to the narrower arms so I need to order some new wheels. |

Re: PB Narrowed arms and 22s
I guess I'm kinda stumped with your question.
If you were going to switch wheels,... why did you switch a-arms? You could have got "whatever backspace you wanted" to work with the standard width Porterbuilt arms. We need a little more info: What year truck? Stock crossmember? Extreme Dropmember? Touring Dropmember? Mild Dropmember? Is it even bagged? Static dropped?

Re: PB Narrowed arms and 22s
Extreme dropmember, truck lays frame. I think... I bought it a few years ago. Round tube, not square.
I didnt plan on switching the wheels. When I originally bought the a-arms they were only available in the standard width (same time i bought the crossmember). At that time people were using 20s on the front when laid out. I have since used the A-arms on a different project and when I went to order replacement arms I had the option of 1" narrower to run 22s, hence why I now want to swap the wheel size to match the rear. Truck is a 65 Suburban Bagged, lays frame As far as backspacing I dont think I can get whatever I want. I have Coy wheels right now and my first experience with them was not the greatest. So anything custom from them i believe would be out of the question. |

Re: PB Narrowed arms and 22s
Looking at Coys site right now I may have to go with a different option....
Apparently they dont offer black C5 anymore |

Re: PB Narrowed arms and 22s
If you're going to run the 22x9 up front,... I would go with the most BS that Coys offers.
That appears to be 5.5" bs. That should work with a 1" narrowed a-arm,... but I'm not as familiar with these 60-66 trucks.

Re: PB Narrowed arms and 22s
22x9.5 with 5.5 backspace wheel is tucked but still a little close to the fender for low turning! Run a 265-35-22 or smaller tire! I have a 265-40-22 and it's too big touches the firewall but I'm also bodydropped 3/4 inch!

Re: PB Narrowed arms and 22s
Thanks Tony.... Mine will only be 9" wide wheels so they will tuck farther in. I cant remember the size tires I have in the rear. I will check this weekend but I plan on getting the same size. Still have not found another grill lol.
