Best backspacing for a 67 with drums and 3/5 drop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in the market for some wheels and was wondering what everyone has had the best luck with as far backspacing goes with a 3/5 or 4/6 and 18 or 20 inch rims?

I am waiting for Torque Thrust II's (4 months now!) with 4.5" backspacing in the rear since I have the narrower, stock, rear end. I'm doing 18x8's front and 20x10's rear. I only have a 3" drop, but will let you know how they fit when I get them.

Torque thrust II's with 6 bolt? You can special order those? What was your front backspacing? Yeah, let me know when you get them. I would love to see some pics. Very nice truck by the way! What color is that?

I converted to 5 lug. Truck is currently sitting with no shoes on. I couldn't find 6 lug wheels that I really liked. The fronts are also 4.5" BS. The truck is Atomic Orange (newer vettes).
