Re: Shucks First Build

I have noticed that tire prices can be more expensive for the smaller sizes but the wheel changed drastically with a 20inch rim. But, that's the size of wheel I'm looking for. The tire sizes I'm looking at are 245/45/r20 and 275/45/r20 with a20x8 and a 20x10. Which I have done research and people seem to not have issues with that sidewall and wheel combination. The one concern I do have is the lip on the front fender coming to contact with the tire. I'm no guru on backspacing but Aggie gave me good pointers. 4.75 backspacing in the front followed by 5.75 backspacing in the rear for those gray torque thrust wheels. I read that people put 5 or 5.5 backspacing on the rear but I can't seem to find any torque thrust with that backspacing and wheel size. Aggie mentioned a 3/4 spacer on the rear wheels, should and hopefully will work with the math we did.
