20x8 and 20x10 backspacing question
 
So, as simple as it may be this is one of those things that has always flustered me. For the size wheels mentioned what backspacing would I prefer to run on this truck? It is going to be lowered 5/7 and don’t want wheels rubbing the fender trim but don’t want them way inside the wheel wells either.

Hey brother! Yeah man it’s been gone a while. I did a frame off on it and a LS swap. Now I have a new one I’m throwing together. You using the same size and backspace? Any pics of current truck? Hope you’re doing well buddy.

you going LS in this one too? id post pics of what I'm currently working on but it aint lowered yet, I got all the stuff to do it, but ended up getting a bulged disc so its on hold for the time being.....

got it shipped from Georgia back in May...got the front clip swapped, new bumpers front and rear, then got the wheels, then injured my darn self before I could install all the lowering components :waah:

by the way, here's a pic of my truck in the current state with those wheels and backspacings you posted about (looks donk not lowered yet) :(

any pics of your new project?

Mine is currently a bare chassis. Pics as soon as I get enough to make a build thread. So those are the same size wheels and backspace, that’s nice.

The torque thrust 1 piece cast wheels are only offered in the 5x5 in 20x8 & 20x10 in those back spacings anyways. To get a different back spacing you’d have to order the two piece version

Correct, but if I have to get different wheels that’s ok too. I’m not 100% set on these. I’d do the Eagle 225s again if I could find a decent deal on some.
