Will these 20's fit and tuck?

[The Big Green]

I came across some 20's for my 67 Chevy fleetside that I like. They are 20x8 1/2 on the front with 4 1/2bs and 20x10 on the back with 5 3/4bs. I love these wheels but will they tuck? I kinda new to big wheels on a old truck, well my old truck and I don't know what will fit. This truck has had good ole 15's for the past, oh, 41 years...lol. It time for a change but I need help. I was looking at some wheels a couple days ago that I liked but they where 20 and 22's and I don't know how that would look. I thought about 18's and 20's but I'm thinking about just doing the 20's all the way around.

What's your definition of 'tuck'?

[The Big Green]

Will they tuck up behind the fenders. This thing will be bagged and body dropped and I don't want to lay it out and hit the wheels on the fenders.

Based on what I learned with my truck and what I have read on here, I think those wheels will fit. The backs though may be pretty close to the inside of the bedside with a 20x10 5.75" BS wheel when aired down. As I understand the 67/8 rearend is slightly less wide compared to the later rearends, so you have more room with yours.

Pretty much youve got to do some work to the fenders to get your truck to layout. Tire size is a factor to consider when trying to get her down as well. Its kind of not if the tires will hit its when. How low are you wanting to go?

What does the front suspension consist of?

[The Big Green]

Well, to answer your questions about my 67. Its stock height at the moment with 2in lowering blocks on the back and the front is all stock. I bought this when I was 16 and 11 years later it just seems like I need to start changing things up, its what the poor old truck would want, well ok maybe what I want now that I'm not a poor little teenager any more. I really want to bag and body it but I want the wheels that I like and the offset I want. I have another frame that I'll be working on while I drive and show this truck. I really like the look of a deep dish wheel, maybe like 4in or so in the back and the front doesn't matter. The back I can tub and cut up or whatever it takes to get what look I want. Thanks for the help guys.

The prob I see will be that back-spacing. 'Tucking' a wheel is difficult enough w/the track width these trucks have & thats using a wheel w/5+ inches of back-spacing. I see a MII front end or a PorterBuilt Dropmember in your future if you're dead set on certain wheels w/certain BS (unless you have the ability to narrow some a-arms & section a front crossmember).

The rears would 'tuck' fairly easy w/some creative trimming of sheetmetal & mini-tubs.

I don't know anything about wheels that will tuck on this truck. If it would be better to hold off and bag it first and then get wheels then I'll do that. I do know that my 15's that are on it now fit way back behind the fenders but the rears are also 8 inches wide but with a 10 in wheel I need to go 2 inches back to be the same on the outside and I do know that I have 2 inches to spare right now. I may just wait and bag first.
