Wheels

I am trying to find out what size wheels/ offset/ backspace I will need to fit my truck. I am bagging my 66c10 step side and changing to 5 lug in the process. Im using a 5 lug rear end from a 78 c10. My 6 lug wheels would not tuck, i think they are 15x10 wide tires, it may be the tires. Im looking to step up to a 20inch wheel all the way around. Some help would be nice. Thanks

Re: Wheels

The best and most accurate way to determine your wheel size and backspace is to put the rearend (with all of the brake components, etc.) at ride height and measure, using a straight edge and tape measure.
