If I choose to go with these what specs would I need? I have a little bit more narrow rear end though running a Ford 9" rear. I would want 20s in the rear and 18s in the front. I wish they made a 20 x 12 because I was gonna go with Weld Pro Stars in 15 x 12 with a 14.5" section width tire until I found out they don't make 5 x 5 bolt pattern anymore. So I'm wanting to fit the widest wheel and tire under there to fill out the wheel well. Would a 20 x 10 Coy C-5 with a certain offset and a wider tire fill the bigger gap or no? I have 16.5" of total width, 14.5" of useable space, I want more of the lip to be on the outside (so that's the least amount of backspacing right?) and I need at least a 30" tall tire. I'm running 4.11 gear so I need a tall tire. Here's a pic.

Coys had a 20X12 at there display at a swap meet

smbrouss70 · 08-04-2007, 11:26 AM

According to their website they make a 20x14 in Chrome and Polished but not the grey center. They only list that size for 5x4.5 and 5x4.75 bolt patterns though. Your best bet would be to measure your set-up to find out the size and backspacing you want and then give Coy's a call and see if they can help you out.

SulphurDave · 08-04-2007, 05:06 PM

The bolt pattern on the back is 5 x 4.5 (ford) the front is 5 x 5 (chevy). And the rear end is 3.5 inches more narrow on each side totaling 7" more narrow overall compared to the 10 bolt that was under there before.

Man, your truck looks and sounds BADASS. I think a set of Coy's would be perfect for it. Going with a 20" wheel would make it modern looking, as opposed to the Pro-Stars. Don't get me wrong, they are cool looking, but very 'early-nineties' pro-street. The Coy's, although large diameter, have a timeless design that will look good indefinitely.

Here's my suggestion:

Wheels
Rear: 20x14 w/ 4" backspacing
Front: 20x8.5 w/ 5.25 backspacing

Tires
Front: 255/45-20
Rear: MT Sportsman S/R , 31X16.00R20LT -This tire is made for a 14" wheel, has a section width of 15.7", a tread width of 13.5" , and is 31" tall.

Using these specs will get you plenty of sidewall- it will be the same tire diameter as my Blazer pics above. Using max BS up front(5.25) will pull the wheel in, giving you a narrower track width, allowing you to lower it more up front for more rake and keeping the pro-street feel. Oh, and polished would look better than chrome in your case, since you are using so much billet.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but YOU MUST DO THIS!

Your truck would be unbelievable in this configuration. Please post pics when you get them mounted up.

He would need to use a different width rear than what he has for the 20x14" 4"BS wheel.

Dude thanks for the all the compliments!! This is exactly what I need. Some specs on wheels/tires to know what I can fit and motivation lol. Although not sure if I can fit a 14" wide wheel. I only have 14.5" section width to fit a tire much less a wheel. I wanted to go old skool hot rod because I'm building this in memory of my Dad and wanted to keep it old skool hot rod. But I'm so tempted to go 20 x 12 or something in the back. Hard to find wheels though.

I think I need more than 4" back spacing. I need more rim to go toward the back closer to the leaf springs.

With your current rear end measurements provided, you need 5.5"BS w/a 14" wide wheel. Of course this is only an estimate that would need to be verified.

BP68 · 08-05-2007, 09:23 PM

Where are these wheels made? Someone said they considered a set until the found out where they are made.

Regardless, how do they ride and balance out for those of you running them?

gringoloco · 08-06-2007, 07:56 AM

Made in China like a lot of things these days... Mine balanced out fine and are surprisingly light weight.

stepside454 · 08-06-2007, 08:31 AM

Im the one who mentioned where there made. For me it wasnt an issue of quality, there is some good stuff that comes out of china, & some really crappy stuff to, just like anywhere. Its more a political issue for me, I just have a problem giving my money to a govt. who wants to do us harm. They could make them in many other countrys & it wouldnt be an issue. John

72 Cheyenne402 · 08-06-2007, 09:14 PM

Centerline Voltage made in California by ??????? But still made in the States. 18X8" and 20X9"

I like Coy wheels and almost bought some but decided to go with these wheels instead. I just wanted something different

2500HD · 08-16-2007, 01:54 PM

rodstored-72 -- have you gotten your wheels yet?

stepside454 · 08-16-2007, 05:58 PM

very nice 72Cheyenne.
BTW...yes they do like our money... take a look what its being spent on.

Deuce · 08-19-2007, 12:40 PM

So would it be safe to assume if I was going to order 18's and 20's,the 18's would be 4 1/2" backspacing and the 20's would be 5"???

The truck is a 67 but has been converted to 5 lug on the front with 73+ suspension and the rear has a 72 diff.
