Ok I am sure this is on here somewhere but I can not seem to find it. I am wondering if a 20x9.5 wheel with a 6" back spacing and 255/35/20 (27.05" diam 10.24" width) will fit the front of a 65 stepper and rear will have 265/35/20 (27.32" diam 10.67" width)that has a 5 1/2" front and 5" rear static drop. Can any of you experts help??

I am also goint to do the dropwith 2 1/2" cpp drop spindles or the modular drop spindles if i have to.

Thanks in advance

oh and for those guys who are going to tell me to go measure my truck I can not becasue it is in another state and the sale on the wheels which ill save me almost two hundred dollars ends tomorrow .

The wheels I just got are 20's with 5 1/2 inches of back spacing the with the late model dics the fit fine in the front. But that front is 3/4" wider per side than stock. In the rear I am putting in the late 69 and up rear to gain some room on the inside. I have a fleet side and they hit both wheel wells on the inside. I need the wider rear and 1/4" spacers to give me what I need to clear in the back.

Chapa,
Did you get your wheels and get them on? I have a short step that I just did a 4.5/5 drop. Today I bought some BOSS 20 x 8.5 wheels and wanted to know what size tires you ended up with and what it looked like. Everything I have found seems to be fleet side trucks.
