Foose Legend Wheels

I am looking into ordering some Foose Legend wheels in the near future for my 84 C10. I am going to buy 20x8.5 for the front and 20x10 for the rear. I plan on running some Toyo Proxes 255-40-20 in front and 295-40-20 rear. Also I am going to order a 5"-5" DJM drop kit with drop shocks. The main questions I am having are will I run into any problems with the lowering kit and rim/tire setup. Also what backspacing should I use for the front and rear?

to be sure you will need to know the offset. On 10" wheels 5.5 and 8.5" wheels 4.5 are common backspacings for our trucks. With a tape, plumbob or straight edge you can figure out what will work for your setup.

Alright thanks for the info. I want the front to have a small lip exposed whereas on the rear I would like a much larger lip exposed.
