Re: 18x8 20x10 Torq ii's

you can still get the rack look with drop parts.......18's front don't look right with 20s in the rear even if its lowered......I would run a 20" in front also

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 18x8 20x10 Torq ii's

Scoti,
I have the same rear wheels (TTII) and sits the same as yours in the back. However the front end on mine is not low enough because of the wheels / tires I am currently running. What back spacing are your front wheels and what tire are you running? What is your drop combo on the front. Obviously spindles but did you replace or cut the springs. Any rub issues?
Thanks

Those were 8" wide w/5.25" back spacing & it had 245/45-18's.
Drop was 3" spindles & 1-coil cut from the original sbc springs. I trimmed the factory bump-stops down a little but they kept the tires from buzzing. Without the bump-stops, it buzzed too much.

Re: 18x8 20x10 Torq ii's

Thank you - my 17 X 8 TTII with 4" BS are my problem. Will have to consider another pair of wheels. Perhaps tires too as it is tough to find matching tires for a set of 17's and 20's.

That back spacing requires modifying (trimming) the lower a-arm for clearance.

More than likely, no. But you don't know for sure w/o measuring. See how much space you have before possible contact will made when the wheel is turned each direction (lock-to-lock).

Was your rubbing experience with the wheel wells inside or with fender / molding area?

My 87 on black chrome TT's, 18's and 20's. I went with a 8" on the rear and used a spacer to bring it out flush.

Not hi-jacked. You asked for pics, I provided per your request. Questions will arise from others based on the content within the replys. You might have wondered the same related questions.

Re: 18x8 20x10 Torq ii's

I would use 20's at all four corners. I think it would look better.
Here is my truck with 18's up front and 20's in the rear.
