?????'s for you guys running 20's...again
Hey guys,
I was the high bidder on this set of 20's on ebay that came off a 73 Chevy. I know what you are thinking-Your dumba$$ shouldn't have bid on them if you weren't sure they were going to fit. I knew they would fit, I was pressed for time and the main thing is I didn't reach the reserve price so I might not be able to purchase them anyways. But in case I want to offer a little more than my highest bid I have some questions. I asked the guy what the wheel width and the backspacing was and he replied that they were 10 inches wide with an 8 inch backspace. I kind of thought that was a bunch considering that they were on a 73. Tires are included and they are 275/45/20's Goodyear Eagle's Should I push the issue and try to get them? Or just call it lucky I didn't reach the reserve? Can anybody help?

Backspacing is non-trivial. You need to determine your exact backspacing requirements and find a wheel that fits. Working the other direction... by finding a wheel deal, then trying to make them fit, rarely works out like you plan.

I did have some with the wheeels on but everything is ripped apart and i cant find the pics. Are you bagged and looking to tuck? If you do a search on "how to measure back spacing" Theres a couple good articles out there that tell you how, and I think mini truckn has an article on how to measure so you can tuck.
Good luck |
