Wheel decisions

[ShinyC10]

Im looking at getting a set of grey Boss 338s for my 1986 c10 and was wondering if anyone has them on thiers? i want to fit the widest wheel/tire under the back without tubbing and messing with the frame. ive heard 10in with a 5in bs works. any thoughts?

I used to have the 338 10's with 5.5" backspacing on the rear of the 76 and they fit great... Not so sure about 5".
Depending on if & how much you are lowered will play into what backspacing you can get away with too.

In fact I used the same backspacing when I ordered my billets. (5.25" bs on 8.5" in front & 5.5" bs on 10" in rear)

It's dropped 5/7

My advise would be go with 5.5... but others may chime in with their experience....


Again for reference both sets of these are 5.25" bs on 8.5" in front & 5.5" bs on 10" in rear

Do you not feel the rear is tucked in a little too much? I let someone try my Eagle 225s on his c10 and that's how they looked to me. I was thinking of either ordering 20x12 with a 5.5 or 20x11 with a 4.5 BS.

I think they match up great with the bs I am running in the front.
But that's my opinion.


Tried to find a couple different angles...

i cant find these wheel specs anywhere. all i find is 18x9.5s @ 5" bs and 4.5" bs on the 17/18x8s
