US Wheel Rat Rod 20x8 20x9 66 series

[mcmlxix]

So I was thinking about steel wheels for my 1978 2WD Blazer.
My truck looks lowered but no idea.

US Wheel has some 20x8 and 20x9 at about $240 each
White with a polished lip.
20x9 is 4.75 backspace
20x8 is 3.75 backspace

Who is running this wheel or at least one of these sizes that can help with fitment.
I don't want rubber band tires.
I don't need a staggered setup.
I don't want to run spacers.
The goal would be to run some Chevy truck hubcaps..

Who is running any kind of 20x8 or 20x9 ?

What wheel size?
What tire size?

i dont have any, but coys makes smooth wheels ready for truck caps.

Let’s see a pic of the blazer. Depends how low if that backspacing is enough.

[mcmlxix]

currently running 15" wheels... unknown width or offset..

What size tires? 235/75r15? Do you plan do lower any more?

The pictures on their website are crap.... after some googling.. I don't like the way the C33 curves in... I want a concave look. I think the US Wheel does this. Plus it already comes in white and has the chrome lip.

I don't remember what's on there now. I don't think I'll lower it more. I do have some new C30 front springs that I was going to cut as needed. Honestly I just got the truck running after the PO started a motor swap that was never finished. Still needs an exhaust.... SO I haven't driven the truck yet.

Will/can the wheels w/the BS listed work? Yes. Not optimal for a lowered ride but they'll still work.
I would prefer 8" fronts w/4.75"bs & 9" rears w/4" bs.

is the extra B/S on the fronts for being lowered and turning?

looks like that 9" rear wheel w 4" b/s would mimic the look of a 10" wheel w/5" b/s?

And I would like 20x9 (with 4.5" BS), and 20x8 (with 5"-5.25" BS)

That's why asking someone what to run is so difficult.

I like my wheels tucked more than most.
Plus I like a 40 series tire.
And maybe a staggered tire height.
(245/40 and 295/40)

Is all subjective to the look YOU like.

Looks a lot like the Jimmy I recently had.

Both of those are correct

That's correct.
But I like 10's with a 5.5" BS on squarebody trucks.
That's why I said 4.5" BS on a 9" wheel.

See where all the confusion is?

Measure your own truck.
Just remember that a 9" wheel actually measures 10" overall.
The 9" number is measured at the wheels bead surface.
