20x12 will they fit
Will a 20x12 mount up with no problems with a 7in drop or lower in the rear or will the tubs have to come out?

Re: 20x12 will they fit
12" wide wheels will require widening the tubs w/7" drop & allowable 'normal' clearance.

 SWEEEEEEEET Thanks scoti!The narrowest point in the rear wheel wells of my 73 K5 Blazer is 14.25, i guess that means that if my Arithmetic is correct, and i get a 12 inch wide wheel with the proper back spacing i will have 1.125 on either side for clearance. Now i don't mean to high jack the thread but what tire with run on a 12 in wide wheel?

The tubs are narrowed to the frame and I have the narrow 67-70 rearend, 20x12's with 7" backspacing and a 31 x 16 tire but easily coud have run an 18" tire.

Re: 20x12 will they fit
20x12 315/35/20 6" backspacing on wheel and flip kit. Fit with trimming the fender lip 1/4"
They did rub a little on the inner fender wells when pulling in at an angle so I added a few inches to them.

Re: 20x12 will they fit
Interesting information scoti,
I allways presumed the measurement was to the outer edge of the rim !! |
