Will 20x9's Work Up Front? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ford Assassin · 08-22-2008, 10:35 AM

Hey guys, I've been doing some rim shopping and I found a few that I like, but they are 20x9's. I was planning on just running them on all 4 corners, but wondered if I could get away with them in the first place on the front of my '69 C10. I can get them in any backspacing I want, so that's not an issue and I was thinking about 255/45/20 for tires up front (295/45/20's in back).

Thanks!!

I know people run 8.5" with no problem w/ 4.5" BS. Honestly not sure but here's a free bump for you.

shouldn't have a problem with the right backspace, however i dont have those specs. they should tuck if its lowered, and i'm sure that's why you're questioning.

My 20x8.5's have 5.25" BS. So a 20x9 would need around 5.5" BS. Maybe not quite as much if you have drums.
