Re: 20"s for my step side.

I have read there is some shaving that needs to be done on the front rotors. I like those wheels as well.

Re: 20"s for my step side.

The 20x8.5's will work up front.
They might work on the back with spacers.

But my opinion the 20x10's are too wide for the rear stepside fenders.
What year truck?
What width rearend?

Yeah.
Meant to say "what year truck rearend"?

The problem with the 1970 model truck,... is the rearend could be the narrow 67-69 version or the wider 71-72 version,... but definitely 6-lug.

Since the OP wants the 5-lug Boss 338 wheel,... I thought maybe the rearend had been changed out.

Re: 20"s for my step side.

I should have been more specific about my truck. I have the Ece 2 1/2 drop spindles and 2 inch drop springs and have the disk brake conversion to the front end also. The truck has the narrow rear end with 5 inch drop springs and I'm going to convert the truck to 5 lug soon.

Will need to be at least mini tubbed in the rear, but should not hit the fender. That's if it has the 6.25" backspacing.
