anyone know proper backspacing for torq thrust II's?

does anyone know which backspacing i would need with a 5/7 drop?

i was really wanting some 20" coys, but that just aint gonna happen (lack of $) so looks like i'll be using 15 x 8's all around

here's the options from summit

Link doesn't work. Bigzz, don't get in a hurry. I suggest you save your greenies till the 20's are in your budget. They will make your truck look soo much better.

I hear the Boss wheels are cheaper. You might take a look at them...

Are you sure that they are 20's Ken ? They look like 18's. I think the 18's have the right backspace but the 20's will require a set of spacers for the rear .

No problem Ken . I am actually glad they are 18's . I wanted to see what the 18's looked like and missed that pic . I may have to order a set .

Frank,... you may want to check out the latest info in the "Group Buy" Thread.
Seems like the revised 18's aren't out yet, so they won't fit the front if you have 1.25" wide rotors.
If you have the 1" rotors they will work fine.

I'd get the 20's over the 18's anyway.(just my opinion)
