About to order wheels for my 67, backspacing?

Hey Guys.

I'm about to order a set of Ridler 695s (20x8.5 front, 20x10 rear). I know several of you are running Ridlers so wanted to get some feedback.

Currently I have 18x8 fronts and 19x10 rear Intros with a 5.5" backspace and 1/2" spacer on each side, and 285 45 19s. I want to get away from spacers if possible, and run a 295 out back



It looks like only backspace is available for 20x10 ridlers (and 20x8.5) in the 5x5 pattern, so everyone has 5.5" (0 offset) rear and 4.75" (0 offset) front. My rear end is only 62" flange to flange. Is anyone else running this narrow of arear, and just using spacers? Has anyone comfortably ran 295/40/20s in a factory wheel tub in back? I'm also trying to decide between 245/45 or 255/45 up front, so open to any suggestions.

Any feedback appreciated! I wish the backspace options were more than "this is what you get", as I like the wheels for the price otherwise. Thanks in advance!
