New Wheels on my 71 C20
 
2 Attachment(s)
I just got my Detroit Steel Delray's on my truck. 20 x 8/ 4.5" bs front and 20 x 9/ 4.5" bs for the rear.

I love the look of the wheels, and how much better they ride than the stock 16.5" wheels with bias-ply tires.

Problem I'm having is the fronts rub the inner fender well when the suspension compresses. Detroit Steel said they could do the wheels with a max of 4.75" bs. I don't think the 1/4" will be enough. I really don't want to run the truck without fender-wells.... any suggestions??

Wow, those are nice. I think I like them especially on a C20.

I'm no expert, never bought them before, but maybe you need these.

What about going with a 235/50? I currently have 235/45 with no rubbing issues, but plan on changing to 235/50 in the future.
