62 c10 wheel/tire advice
 
So I have been doing a resto on my truck and it is pretty much finished. Time to change out the wheels that were on it when I bought the truck. They are 20” wheels, and I would like to keep 20” wheels but a different style. I’m thinking maybe Torque Thrusts or something along those lines. The truck has the original axles with the drum brakes. Do you folks usually run the same width wheels all around or do you run a bit wider wheel in back? I always ran wider wheels on my hot rods back in the day but not sure that is the norm now days. Also, what backspacing should I be ordering so they fit in the factory wheel wells? I like the 20” wheels as they give the truck the appearance that it is lowered a bit. Should the wheels have the same backspacing front and rear? Thanks. I’ll post this first and then try to add pics. Each time I try to add pics to this post, I lose it all??

Many folks do stager the size and width front to back.

Like: 18” front and 20” back, 8” wide front and 9.5” in back.

I would think since you have stock front and rear, a good vendor for what you like would be the first call I’d make.
There are several vendors here that could help you out.

Good luck!!
