these are 5" backspace, of course there's no bed on it and i haven't slammed it yet. these trucks have huge wheel wells. you shouldn't run into too much problem at all. your measurements on lug pattern are 5 on 5"

they fit right up. i have the smaller non heavy duty brakes on this truck though. i'll have to try em on my other truck since it has the heavy duties. i wonder if there's a difference in the rotor cap size of the bigger brakes, does anyone know?

yeah, you can get a good used set with good tires for about $800. i'm thinking of getting 22's and 18's so i can run a 20/18 combo on the DD and a 22/20 combo when i get this other truck done.

the center caps on the rotors are too big to fit over some of the center caps. on my 77 i had to get the center caps machined, and the rotors machined a lil bit.

How wide of a wheel are you planning on going with on the front and the rear? And, how much of a drop do you have or plan to have?

5" bs on a 20x8 should work in the front. Out back, 5" bs on a 20x10 should work. If you go 20x8's with a 5" bs on all four corners, the rears will be offset in more than what is needed, but it should work. And as Chevye said, your bolt pattern is 5 on 5. If you haven't radically altered your suspension or brakes, you shouldn't have any rubbing issues with the correct offset.

these are 20x8s with 4.5"BS and 245/40s, and 20x9.5s with 5.5"BS and 275/35s. the fit great.
