Porterbuilt - Wheel backspace

Hi,
I have level 3 Porterbuilt dropmember with 1" narrowed control arms.
I'm going with 20x8 fron wheels. What backspacing are you running?
Any pictures to share how much clearance you have to the fender?

I'm not using any inner fenders.

Re: Porterbuilt - Wheel backspace

The most popular is 5.25 backspace on a 20x8 or 8.5

I'll try to get a few pics of mine in a day or so

Re: Porterbuilt - Wheel backspace

Decided to go with 20x8 with max backspace of 4.75 in front.

Thinking of going with 20x11 with backspace 6.5 in rear.

Anyone have experience of this?

Re: Porterbuilt - Wheel backspace

I am thinking of going with the same wheels, except 20x9 up front hopefully I have no rubbing while turning up front. Although Im not dropping down as far as you are. giving this a bump cause I'm curious about the rear backspacing as well, I had 7.5" in mind but I'd prefer them more towards the outside.
