Re: wheel width question on bagged 63

I need to know if anyone has experience with a 20x8.5 and clearance problems if any. 63 with bags and front disc swap, pocketed lower control arms.

If you are bagging, you need to do some measuring yourself, because the fender/hood joint is right where a wheel/tire wants to be on a bagged truck. the hood hinges are also in the way for a big wheel. it will be a delicate balance of camber, toe, and turn radius.

8 inches wide with 4.5 backspace is the same as a 0 offset. you didnt list an offset or backspace on the 20x8.5 wheel in your second post.
