Probably. I plan to run 255/40-20's and a 295/40-20's. (most likely Toyo Proxes) I think they would be too tall to run with my 5.5" static front drop and keep the inner fenders.
I think they will go on the '86.

I think spacers would be required too make the 20x10's work on the "narrower" '69 rearend, though.

Do you think they will work with the narrower rear on the 68'?

I plan to go with 2.5 spindle, 2" spring and converted disc on 5X5, you thing that would fit?

Thanks again - love the rims.

6.250" backspace is too much. I'm guessing a 1.250" spacer will get you to a 5" backspace. This should work better. But I would measure first to be sure.

It would be close with a 27" tall front tire. Are you pulling the inner fenders or keeping them?

I hope to find out in the next couple months. But without tires,... I would just be guessing.

I've seen the opposite.

N2billets red 68 Lucy was bagged w/2.5" dropped spindles. He ran 20x8.5's & a 255-40 w/buzzing only @ lower air settings. I bought a similar pkg for my 68 & thought WTH, I'll run them on my 74 for a little 'change'. They were positively a 'no-go' on the 74 @ roughly 5.5-6" front drop (static drop w/3" spindle & 1-coil removed). They buzzed the tops of the inner wheel-wells just poking down the alley.

I should clarify,... the '86 will have no inner fenders and a Dropmember.
(My 5.5" static drop is on my '69 swb beater)
