20x8 (4.5"bs) and 20x10 (5.75" bs)

The 2-piece wheel comes in 20x8, 20x9.5, 20x10, 20x12, and 20x15 with a large variety of backspaces.

When I ordered mine for my blazer I specified the backspace I wanted, since they were going through the custom shop anyway.
My TTII’s are the 1-piece VN515 that I had on my 68! The backspacing worked on that truck because it laid frame and was going to have a modified bed floor and wheel wells. The 5.75” backspacing on the 1-piece 20x10’s absolutely do not work on my 66 Burb with the narrow rear I’m using without an adapter and I’m not interested in cutting into the Burb to make them fit. I also don’t want to change out my rear as I have a good amount of $ tied up into rebuilding it. After doing some thorough measuring over the weekend, I solved my problem yesterday when I ordered 2 20x10 VN405 2 piece polished TTII’s from Travis at Pro Performance. I really liked the look of the TTII’s on my Burb so I just ordered a pair with the exact backspacing I needed. They should match up close enough to the front 1-piece wheels that no one should be able to notice a difference. I’ll be putting the 2 1-piece 20x10’s up for sale after I get the new wheels.
