72 c10 rims

Ok, I've decided to pull the trigger on some new wheels. I've done tons of research, and have found the rim and tire combo. But having trouble finding the back spacing info I need. Front will be 20/8.5 with 255/40 tires. Rear will be 20/ 10 or maybe 8.5 with 295/40 tires. Any info would be great.

Re: 72 c10 rims

Everyone has a different opinion on how much the wheels should or shouldn't tuck inside the fenders/bedsides.
Fleetside beds and stepside beds take a totally different wheel backspacing,... due to the limited available room under the rear stepside fenders.
The BEST option is to measure YOUR truck,... yourself.

Look at this thread I put together about measuring for wheels:
