Foose Legend

I know this has been asked a million times but i believe i have narrowed down to the wheels i want. Foose Legend 20x10 and 20x8.5. I am really confused on what backspacing i want, i need some opinions. I am thinking 5.5" for the front and rear. Would this work and not rub? I am planning on a 4/6 drop and my truck is a 72 swb. I would also like some recommendations on some tire sizes and brands. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Foose Legend

Newstalgia wheel had the best prices by over $100 on some billet specialties I just bought. They sell Foose as well.

Re: Foose Legend

I would run a 5.5" backspace front and rear with the wider 71-72 rearend,... and 8.5" and 10" wheels.
Backspacing is DIRECTLY related to wheel width.
So if you decide on different wheel width or a different rearend,... everything changes.
