Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

The wheels specs are Raceline A.L. rolled lip fronts are 20x8.5" with 5.25 backspace anyone who is running a dropmember with 8.5" wide wheels should use that backspace per Nate the rears are 20x10 also with 5.25 backspace

The wheels might get some powder coating thinking either gloss black lip with matte black centers or a matte metallic grey center..

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Sometimes I wish I would of just kept those wheels and not had 22s made. Would of been alot further along with my build! My only regret with that setup was the front tire, I should of ran a 245/40/20 for a little bit more side wall, there was almost a 2" difference in the tire hieghts from front to rear. So keep that in mind... Also the smallest bump in the road seemed alot bigger. I would run a 245/40/20 Front and a 295/35/20 Rear if I were you.

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Hey Myth i was thinking about that that i wanted some a little larger on the front of the truck. I would have loved to run 22's on my truck but i dont think the truck quite has enough on the notch to lay it properly with a nice tire!

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Looking good!
I think a set of 255/40 and 295/40 Toyo Proxes II's would look perfect on those wheels.
You have room for some sidewall.

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

I think thats a little too much sidewall for a truck thats bagged.. Thats almost 5 inches of sidewall all around. The lower you go, the bigger the tire will look, the smaller the wheels will look.
