Anybody with 20" torq-thrust all way around? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i really like these wheels and would like to run 20 all the way around. can yall guys let me know the perfect backspacing. i will drop my truck later

20x8.5” wheel with anywhere between a 5.25” and 5.5” back-spacing on the front should be fine. I'd run a 10" rim with a 4.5"-5" back-spacing on the rear to get a staggered look.

Edit:
This is assuming that you're going to drop the truck. If not, you can probably get away with less back-spacing on the front, but I personally don't like the look of big rims on trucks that don't have a "modified suspension"

4 inch BS up front, 4.5 in back. Fronts tuck nice on a lowered rig, everything tucks in the back regardless. Play around with it a little to your taste, any reputable tire shop will hand tighten a showroom set onto your rig if you show up ready to buy. Post some pics when and if...

I would find something else besides American Racing especially if you have to order them. Dealers have been dropping AR left and right due to quality control and delivery issues that have been plaguing the company lately.

I used to have them on my blazer and then on my 67. They are hard to beat for the money and looks but they are getting played.
