5/7 drop & 20" wheels
I'm thinking of getting some 20's for my 90swb w/a 5/7 drop & will prob do 20x8's up front.
If you're familiar w/this size, what back spacing worked for you? I'm thinking 5.5"bs to keep them tucked & off the fender lip but I'm concerned about rubbing stuff from the inside lip of the wheels. Any experience?

TTT....
Anyone else. Pics of your truck w/your combo would help visualize things as well.

Re: 5/7 drop & 20" wheels
I'm curious to know what wheels you're referring to. Just about anything I found with a BS greater than 5.25 had to be custom built and would take about 3 months.

So, I'm searching other options. Waiting is ok w/me if the wheels fit, the price is right, & they're not on half the trucks of similar vintage in the parking lot of the local cruise joint on Sat night.
