Re: 20x10 wheels

4.75 or 5" would do it. on a 68 housing.

You'll want to measure your rear axle housing to be sure before ordering. 55.5 or 57" from backing plate to backing plate? Is it a 6 lug?

Re: 20x10 wheels

5" Backspace should work fine with the narrow housing on a fleeside.

Tell us more about your truck.
Dropped?
Stock height?
Bagged?
Fleetside?
Stepside?

All these things matter.

Re: 20x10 wheels

Well after getting screwed by my body guy and having to hide my 71. I decided I wanted to find another truck in better condition and hopefully start driving it. Well i have a good friend in Az and he told me to start looking out that way for a clean truck. Craigslist is amazing. I found my new A/C 68 longbed on a dealer lot for $1400 and sent him the money. This is what I got

Re: 20x10 wheels

So my plans have changed and this little beauty is getting a solid roller iron head BBC, with a custom built 700r4, a 5x5 dana60 from DTS, and a complete air suspension from Newage Customs in Phoenix.

Then I would buy your wheels after the air suspension install.

Re: 20x10 wheels

I would just measure everything like lolife99 mentioned, and then go from there as far as backspacing. That way you get the exact fit you want.

We are an American Racing dealer. Just PM if you want me to get you a price... get you a good deal.

I have been wanting to see these wheels on a C10, and think they would look sweet.
