wheel question

Looking to buy some new wheels and was gonna go with 20"x10" with 5" backspacing for the rear. My wheel guy just called me and asked if I could use 6.2" backspacing. I plan to ryun 20"x8's up front with 4" backspacing. My question is, will the 6.2" on the back look right? I think they will be sucked in too far and if you look at the back of the truck that you will see the front wheels. This will be on my 77 C10.

Thanks

Re: wheel question

6.2 will rub the inner wheel tub. You don't want more than 5.5in bs. Also most guys with 20x8s in front use 5.25in bs.
