PB Narrowed arms and 22s

[biohazardbill]

If you are running this setup what backspacing/tire size are you running and what issues have you ran into?

I had the regular arms and 20s but have since switched to the narrower arms so I need to order some new wheels.

I guess I'm kinda stumped with your question.
If you were going to switch wheels,... why did you switch a-arms?
You could have got "whatever backspace you wanted" to work with the standard width Porterbuilt arms.

We need a little more info:
What year truck?

Stock crossmember?
Extreme Dropmember?
Touring Dropmember?
Mild Dropmember?

Is it even bagged?
Static dropped?

Extreme dropmember, truck lays frame. I think... I bought it a few years ago. Round tube, not square.

I didnt plan on switching the wheels. When I originally bought the a-arms they were only available in the standard width (same time i bought the crossmember). At that time people were using 20s on the front when laid out.

I have since used the A-arms on a different project and when I went to order replacement arms I had the option of 1" narrower to run 22s, hence why I now want to swap the wheel size to match the rear.

Truck is a 65 Suburban
Bagged, lays frame

As far as backspacing I dont think I can get whatever I want. I have Coy wheels right now and my first experience with them was not the greatest. So anything custom from them i believe would be out of the question.

Looking at Coys site right now I may have to go with a different option....

Apparently they dont offer black C5 anymore

Now im confused... found them on the site through a google search... I am going to have to call them

If you're going to run the 22x9 up front,... I would go with the most BS that Coys offers.
That appears to be 5.5" bs.
That should work with a 1" narrowed a-arm,... but I'm not as familiar with these 60-66 trucks.

22x9.5 with 5.5 backspace wheel is tucked but still a little close to the fender for low turning! Run a 265-35-22 or smaller tire! I have a 265-40-22 and it's too big touches the firewall but I'm also bodydropped 3/4 inch!

Thanks Tony.... Mine will only be 9" wide wheels so they will tuck farther in. I cant remember the size tires I have in the rear. I will check this weekend but I plan on getting the same size. Still have not found another grill lol.
