Re: need help on wheel size
Bolt pattern is 6 x 5.5 but I can't help you with backspacing quesitons. I will be having them myself soon enough.

Re: need help on wheel size
Just saw this thread.... You can run a 8 to 8.5" wide up front, and a 10" in the rear. If you are thinking 18's, I would suggest an 18x8 and 18x10..... and for 20's, a 20x8.5 and 20x10.
That NT05 is a nice looking tire, and has good performance aspects. What I like, is it is available in a 315/35/20, which is also what I am running on the back of my 84 C10. Travis |

Re: need help on wheel size
I would run a 4.75" backspace on the rear. It is always good to measure to confirm, but that is backspace that works. You could squeeze the 315 in the rear.... it might rub a little but it can be done. As for the front, a 245 or 255 would be a good size to go with.
Take a look at the Nitto 420S as well. |
