I think I screwed up my wheel order...

SO, I'm in Afghanistan and found some wheels I liked on sale and pulled the trigger without having the truck in front of me. I'm still a C10 newb, but did a bunch of searches and thought I had a pretty good guess.

BUT, when my wife got the wheels, the 8.5's look really front forward. I went on Summit and found the same wheels and they say it's the 5.25" offset PLUS 12.70mm offset.

Is this gonna work? Or do I have to return them and get these?

They're a 4.75" backspacing with 0.00mm offset.

Kinda bummed, but hoping for the best. I won't be there in person for a couple weeks.

Trucks a 69' C10 Fleetside, but looks like axles and whatnot are off a 72'. 5 lug axles, with discs up front.

Advice? Will the 20x8.5's work as is?

Thanks!

I'm not the best at offset but my math says you're somewhere around 6" back spacing up front with your current wheels. I'm running 20x8.5 5.25 back spacing with zero offset on mine and this is how they fit. Yours will be pulled in more which might be good if you're laying out

That looks really good! I won't be going super low though. Guess I'll have to mount a wheel and take a look at them when I get home. Are you close to having clearance issues on the inside? That already looks pretty deep in the wheel well, and I'll be a 1/2" more in than that.

What do you think? DO you have any more pics of your truck? That's the closest I've seen. SO many threads to search through.
