New shoes for my 82

I am going to pull the trigger and get some new wheels and tires for 82 shortwide. I was look at Coys and boss 338's but after all the fitment issuses I talked to Carlos at showwheels and he was very helpful. They fit with out problems and I love the lip on them with gray centers.

I do have question tho! I am going with 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. I what is a good tire size combo? I hear you can run a 305 in the back??

Thanks

Re: New shoes for my 82

There are several threads covering Coys and Boss wheels here. Take a look through the forum for lots of pics. I am running 245/40 and 295/40 on my truck.
