Going for 20's got bs & tire???'s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OLDROCK&ROLLER · 04-30-2006, 08:05 AM

is this the correct bs? 20x8 front 4" 20x9.5 rear 4.5? I read all the post and still not for sure. Whats the biggest tires that will work on the rear. Its a 72 fleet side,dropped spindles, blocks and bagged. Thanks for your help.

Sound right, but I would pull a wheel (make sure suspension is loaded) and measure.

I did alot of research on this before I ordered my wheels. I just found a board members turck that had a wheels and tires that I liked and asked them. I went with a 18x8 in front with 4 1/2" bs, and 20x10 with 5" bs in the back. I havent got the wheels yet so I can comment further but thats what I did.

PM Danny about his set up. It looks like he nailed it on adequate tire size & fit..... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=197866.

Yup that is the exact size, bs, tires I decided to go with. It just looks RIGHT!

68 short step · 05-02-2006, 12:34 PM

Front, obviously- yes. Rear, you're gonna need to be careful with your backspacing. It's a little tighter back there on the steppers.

OLDROCK&ROLLER · 05-06-2006, 06:14 AM

Thanks for the help. TTT one more time.

Ford Assassin · 08-22-2008, 03:54 AM

Think 295/50/20 would work okay with a 9" rim?

danny ewing · 08-22-2008, 04:33 AM

Hey guys,I am running 20 x 8 front 5 1/4 bs, 255/40/20, 20 x 10 back 5 1/4 bs,295/40/20 Toyo proxys,I do have a small billet spacer on back for my wheel plates. Thanks, Danny

Danny, this is a good time for you to post up some pics of that sweet truck of yours! I NEVER get tired of looking at your rig

111stony · 08-22-2008, 09:58 AM

Danny, nice truck!! What size is the spacer in back? Would it change the BS if you did not have it? Thanks.
