85 C10 Backspace question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi Guys

I am helping my best friend fix up an 85 C10 SWB fleetside and he wants to put a 22x11 wheel. So the first question is would it fit? and what should the backspacing be?

I appreciate the help.....or advice you can give me. I did a search but could not come up with a clear answer.

cherubs 10 in. -5 in bs is about all she wrote .

I HAVE 9.5 in with 5.5 b s & probably have room for approx. 1 more inch .

with 11 in rims I think 5 .5 bs is about all the roomm you got. > that is if its lowered enough to tuck
