Members with 20x8.5 and 20x10

Hello fellas,

I'm a big fan of this combo and want to do it on my truck but I'm in a dilemma.

The rims I want don't come in that size only x8 and by x9.5 so that's a half inch both for the front rims and the back rims. Would you guys go any narrower on the front, or would that half an inch make the world of difference?

2nd question would I be able to mount the same tire sizes of the traditional 8.5 and 10 width rims or have to get different sizes altogether?

Looks pretty awesome actually. Any more pics? What backspacing and tires were you running if you don't mind me asking

Pretty sweet, any idea on the back spacing? Thanks.

Re: Members with 20x8.5 and 20x10

Here's the info on the set up...

Front:
20X8 w/5''BS and 255/40/20
Rear:
20x10 w/5.25''BS and 295/40/20

Also I just noticed that mine was actually a 20x10... but I think you will still be able to get a good amount of lip on it.

Yeah maybe compensate with the backspacing for that lost half inch to bring it a little further out.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. That truck was beautiful btw, clean and simple

Very nice as well, did you have any rubbing/turning issues up front?

Thanks, mine will rub when I hit a sizeable bump but I don't have issues with turning.
