3.5" BS 18x9 will they fit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a set of Dtowns in 18x9 with 3.5" BS and would like opinions on if they would work on a 63 long fleet 5/7 static drop. From what I found in need a 4.5" BS or 0 offset am I correct in my research.

Depends on how the drop was done.... That being said, I'll wager it would be too close to the edge of the fenders.

I have 8" with 3 3/8" BS and 235 wide tires, the sidewall is about 1/2" from the wheel opening lip. '66 Fleetside, stock rear axle. You'd need the extra width on the inside, or more backspacing to get 9" to fit.
