If width was an issue, I don't think it would sit as low as it does in the pics. I am not saying that people won't need spacers, and I'm not arguing in any way -- just trying to accurately report what others are experiencing.
To be clear: There is no substitute for measuring your own setup and determining exactly what you need.
I'm curious, Keith ... since you started the original behemoth Boss 338 thread, do you know what the owner of the truck you photographed did with the rear wheels? And you've got these wheels, too, so what have you done about the rear backspacing? Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I can't take time at work to read through the 28 pages in that thread plus search through your other posts elsewhere.  |
The truck I photographed had 20x8.5's on all four corners. He had a spacer on the back.
I haven't mounted my wheels on a truck yet. My 69 is still 6-lug. I plan to run spacers,... I always have.
I think without them they will contact the wheel tubs.(especially with the 67-70 rearend). My blazer has the wider 71-72 rearend and I have a 5.5" bs wheel on it,... and it is close on the inside. No room for another .725" of backspace.
