Whats up guys? I am going to be ordering my rims and tires this week and need some input.
1. Can I run a 20x9.5 wheel on the rear that will tuck with no rubbing?
2. I want to run a 275/45/20 tire, what backspacing on my rims should I order to ensure that they will fit with no rubbing? 20x8's in the front, 20x8's or 9.5's in the rear depending on the response of #1. Thanks

Everybodys truck is different so people will be reluctant to give you an exact measurement. To be 100% sure, measure your combo w/the wheels you currently have on the truck.

A 20x9.5 w/the 275/45 sounds just about right (excellent height/width). I have installed my 20x10's w/6" BS on my 68 short-fleet. I had to remove the wheeltubs because they rubbed the inside of the tubs, but I could air the back of the truck out w/o the tires hitting on the outside. Measure twice before you spend your $$.
