This is 5/7 with 20x8.5 with 5.25" backspacing with 255/35/20 front & 20x10 with 5.5" bs with 275/35/20 rear.

I'm at a loss on this thing.

I filled out the form for billet spec wheels and sent it to newstalgia wheel. They told me 6.5 and 6.75" bs. So i confirmed this with the wheelrite tool. This put me approx 3/8-1/5" away from the finder lip (they have not been rolled yet).

I used a belltech spindle (which was not supposed to push the front according to belltech) It changed the track width from 63.6 to 64.75. I used a little shop brake kit on the rear which added about .25 to both sides.

I used the dimensions for a 255/35 and a 295/35 Nitto NT555 tire.
