I like the body color front bumper, I thought about doing that but wasn't sure how it would look. I also like the color, looks a lot like mine!

It's actually aluminum. It has a groove with an O-ring and it's a very tight fit.

Excellent. Thanks for the info!

Where exactly are you needing to grind the center hub? Is it on the area closest to the mounting surface or all the way out by the dust cap or the whole hub?

[LS short box]

285/40/20's on the rear. 255/40/20's on the front.
68 rear end so I'm running 1" spacers in the rear.
Running POL tubular front a-arms and I think I could run 275/40's in the front.

Question, on their website, they only list the 5 bolt setup however on other resellers, they have the 6 lug setup listed. Any idea why?

295/30r22 on the rear and 265/35r22 on the front. I would advise 305’s on the rear tho. The 295’s look stretched to me. Soon as these are done I will def go wider.

You can see in these pics that they look a little narrow in the rear.

Bringing this post back from the dead but I’m looking at purchasing these wheels…anyone try to fit one of the 20x9.5 wheels (5.25 BS) that typically get put on the rear up front? Curious if I can fit a 275mm wide tire on all 4 corners with that wheel. It’s going to be dropped somewhere around a 4/6. When I look at the 29” tall 235s on their now it looks like tons of room…where do the front tires usually hit when they do?

Post up pics of your set-up. That will help w/the info people provide you.

That being said, 275's on 9.5's are definitely possible up front. The back space numbers will depend on the set-up.

Its pretty much all rebuilt, but stock save for some CPP drop spindles in front. It will be getting QA1 coil-over system in the front this winter (I already have the rear set-up sitting in my garage which will be installed in the next couple weeks).

Looks like summit has all these sizes in stock surprisingly, so I think I am just going to be buy a single pair of the 20x9.5s which I know I will be using in the rear, mount them on some 275/40/20s and then put them on front just to see how/if they fit.

On a somewhat related note, I have a shorter 68 rearend in my C10 and was just going to use 3/4 spacers to push the rear wheels out but I noticed that it seems (for whatever reason) that the "universal spacers" from, say, Allstar Performance, and a number of other companies that work for 5x4.5, 5x4.75 and 5x5 have the 5x5 holes drilled out for 5/8 studs (while the other bolt patterns are all for 1/2 studs). Can't figure out why they do this, but what are all you guys using for spacers as I imagine the larger holes on 1/2 studs would create issues.

Trying to understand why you would use spacers At All. Can’t you get the right off set to avoid this?? I’m thinking of changing wheels and this would be good info for me.
Thanks

In my case I added spacers in the rear for the looks. They were to tucked in for my liking. I bought 4 of the Rambler wheels the same size.....I don't think there was an offset that would of made a difference but not sure now that I think about it.
Here's a pic if that'll help.

I wouldn't run more than 3/8" spacers.

For 3/4". I would opt for a bolt on 1" wheel adapter that has the same 5x5 pattern.

I stand corrected...I ran the 1" wheel adapter. Thanks for the correction.
No problems at all lots of burnouts etc

I know guys will stack them (spacers) & think it's safe. The 1" adapter is the way to go for dimensions close enough to it.

Good lookin truck BTW

[MySons68C20]

Thank you! You reminded me of what I did a couple years back
The decision on a tire/wheel combo took forever. So many choices!

Seems like most of the inexpensive cast wheels are designed with the later wider rear end in mind. Just about all approximately 10 inch wheels have approximately 5.5 inch backspacing, which works great with the wider rear end, but sucks on the narrower one.

I have a 68 with the narrower rear end and was going to end up with spacers because the tires were going to rub the bed wheelhouse.

The narrower rear would be great if I was having $$$$ custom wheels made. I could get super deep dish, but that's not in the budget.

I think it's more along the lines of a 'standard' fit or zero offset for the given size.

Yea there’s no way I’m getting away without a spacer of some sort if I don’t want them tucked oddly in the wheel well. Trust me I’ve looked-no one makes a 1 piece as cast wheel in 20” diameter in the 10” wide range with a 4.5 or so backspacing. So your talking custom wheels (over $1000 EACH) or, the best I have found is rocket wheels which has an attack style wheel that looks fairly cool with 4.5 BS on a 20x10 but it’s $525 + each, which is still nearly double these rambler wheels.

I’m not too concerned about running spacers- what horror stories I’ve been able to even confirm typically are 3 party “I’ve heard this happen” claims utilizing chinese junk spacers with junk China or 40 year wheel studs (these will be run on new moser axles with 1/2 moser studs of the appropriate length). I don’t even think they get into the bolt on adapters/spacers until 1 1/4 inch anyways which is too much.

I've purchased 7/8" adapters before (custom made). One inch is the current 'easy to source' minimum size.

[AllGoNoShow]

Hmmm…I will have to take a look. I got some spacers coming from Allstar Performance that get great reviews on all the websites but I’ll have to see how comfortable I am with them.

Back to the first question- 20x9.5s rims (5.25 BS) with 275mm wheels in front, what do you guys think? Some basic measurements at full lock Make me feel like it should (emphasis on should) work. I think I’m going to buy a pair for the back and see where I am in front. Looks like the back end of the tire when at full lock on the lower control arm is going to be the close spot.

I have a set I am considering selling if any of you guys are interested. I'm just changing over to another setup.

20x8 255/45r20. Nitto NT555 G2
20x9.5. 295/40r20 Nitto NT555 G2

Just let me know if you want to talk about them, I don't want to hijack the thread. Will sell with or without the tires.
