Back wheel fitment question(backspacing)

Does anyone know if 20x10 inch wheels will fit if they have a 3.75 backspace, with it been lowered with 5 inch drop springs and stock trailing arms, stock rear end, this is on a 68 c10.

I can't say w/100% certainty (because my trucks were always lower), but even w/the mild 5" drop, I think there's going to be interference on the outer wheel well edge/lip w/that minimal back-space amount as the suspension cycles driving down the road.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

If it still has the original 68 rearend, which is narrower than the 71-72 rears, it might actually work. I think it's still gonna be close though.
