10" Wide Rear Wheels??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HotRod929 · 05-29-2002, 12:58 AM

Does anyone know if these will fit under the back of my 1970 Chevy C-20. I plan to lower it 6" in the back and 4" in th front. I want to put 16x7s or 16x8s in the front and 16x10s in the back. I was thinking of 295/50/16s for the tires in the back. All the places I have been to said I need to get the wheels custom made because I need relly deep dish wheels in the back. I am desperate for help right now. I have been planing to do this forever and i am worried that it might not happen. Please let me know anything if you can help. Thanks a lot guys.

I run 15x10 all the way around with no problems, the wheels are deep but not custom made. I don’t know how to measure the offset but they are 70s Dan Gurney aluminum wheels. Oh yea my truck has a 4" dorp. Good luck!

10" wide wheels will fit but the look desired will directly effect the overall back-spacing requirements. Take the previously mentioned 70's Gurney styled wheel for example, @ 15x10" w/probably industry standard 4" back-space they will fit most trucks that aren't more than typical 4-6" drops, but if you lower more than that they will rub @ the fenderwell lips which can be annoying as well as tear up the tire. I prefer my wheels tucked up nice & deep(but not so far as to rub on the inside)so I usually pay more for custom offsets. There is no way a 10" wheel w/4" b-space would work on my 68 short wide so I run a 8"truck ralleys w/4" b.space w/no probs & since they are readily available it keeps the cost down. On my 67 short wide I run 20x10's w/6" b.space & widened the tubs to accomodate the b.space & yes it takes more work but it sure looks sweet.
