New wheels!
Just ordered some new wheels today. Boss 338 chrome. 20x8.5 & 20x10's. Front tires are 255/35 & backs are 315/35. What do you you guys think? Will the back tires fit ok? Anyone running these on a 72 fleetside? Heres a before pic with the TT's. I'll post up some after pics next week when they're mounted. Sorry about the lousy pics. Anyone in the Phoenix area want a nice set of Torque Thrusts?

Re: New wheels!

Re: New wheels!
 I had to run a 1/4" spacer on the back to keep the tires from rubbing the inside of the fender. 8.5" on front and 10' on back.

Re: New wheels!
Dont know the backspacing on the old rims. I'll try and figure that out tomorrow. They mentioned we may have to go to a 295.

Re: New wheels!
Pretty sure the 20x10 Boss wheel is a 6.25" backspace. With the 315, I'd say you might be a bit wide (?) (in too far, tucked under the truck a little bit) The tire is 12.4" wide.
Most run a 295/40/20 on a 20x10 with 5.5" BS on the 72 rear end housing. (fleetside) It can be fixed with a maybe .75" spacer if you wanted but .. just sayin.
