Wheel Help

Hello everyone, I am proudly working with an 85 c10 LWB and I just finished the Belltech 4/6 static suspension drop and I am in need of people that have knowledge of this setup and what wheels they would use or are using. I am wanting to go with 20's staggered. I bought some tires off a guy, the fronts are 255 45R20 and the rears are 285 50R20.

What do you think the backspacing and offset would need to be for it to fit? I am thinking 8.5 inch width in the front and 10 inch width for the rear.

Re: Wheel Help

I would suggest a 5.25 BS on a 8.5", and a 5.5 BS on a 10" wheel. It is always best to measure and make sure, since you are running a taller than usual tire. I think those tires will look greg on there, and really fill the fender wells.

Let me know if I can help you out further with selecting wheels.
