? for the boys with 20's

I am looking at a set of wheels that are a good price they are 20" x 9" with a 5" backspace. What are you guys running for width and backspace? I am at a 2.5 drop front and 4" rear. I may bag it in the future so I want to make sure I have the right wheels now.

I think 4.5" of backspacing seems to be the way to go. There is a wheel and tire fitment thread...

Here it is

The 5 works well if you are going to bag it.

5 Works on mine, but I think you are going the other direction. I clears EVERYTHING on a 4x4.

Re: ? for the boys with 20's

I think you can get 20X 8.5 off the shelf and save money, besides 1/2" isn't going to impact anything. You only need 3-4.5" of BS if you are running a 15" or 16" the 20 is big enough to fit around all of the front supension pieces, that the 15 & 16" rub on, think large mouth bass trying to swallow a lure the 20-22-24 swallows all that stuff up and clears everythin. 20X 8.5 with 5 on 5 should be pretty reasonable, unless you just want to spend $$$ and get custom wheels made for you?

Thanks for the input. I will read the fitment guide like I should have done first anyway. Dont we always read the directions last anyway
