I know what bs is need 5-5.5 but would the larger backspace give it a larger lip? just curious

NORCAL SS · 03-22-2010, 02:33 PM

i will be ordering a rim from summitracing to make sure the rears fit and then returning it. I want to test fit the 20x10 rear to see if i can fit a 305 40 20 on the rear of my dads 95 silverado. once thats set and checked i will be ordering them from this link.

I'm collecting orders this week, and I will place them with american eagle by friday.

Future orders are possible, just need to collect a few before I go down there to have them shipped.

I'm going down to place the order Friday morning, so all orders must be in by Thursday before 3:00PM PST if you want them to ship by next week.

TyKby2 · 03-22-2010, 03:37 PM

Just went and looked at the prices and I think I can't afford to wait to sell my other set of wheels. I guess I'll sell them to buy tires.

*Sublvr72* · 03-22-2010, 06:56 PM

No Chrome 20's yet, just 18's

justincat · 03-22-2010, 07:06 PM

cool, im in as soon as the 20 by 10 and 20 by 8.5s come in on the chrome. I understand you have to run a spacer on the back. Do you have to run 1" rotors in the front or can you run 1 1/4 rotors on a 67?

k5hart · 03-22-2010, 07:18 PM

Are the 18's in grey available yet?

*Sublvr72* · 03-22-2010, 07:24 PM

18" grey are available in both 18x8 and 18x9.5

DrtyJack75 · 03-22-2010, 07:39 PM

Wow, Im more confused now.. haha

I have a 67, pwr disk brake conversion and 5 lug axles from ECE.

I do NOT have bags as of right now, but I DO WANT THEM SOON!

Will these fit? Im not that scared of spacers/adaptors...but will these work on a 67 if it's bagged (or going to be)???

Im sorry...my trucks in storage and away in (military) training so Im unable to go out and measure my truck right now.

THANKS!!

Wildstreak · 03-22-2010, 09:00 PM

ok after thinking about it, Im in, I just have to transfer the money in my account. Ill be ready to pay tomorrow. Do i just send you my info via PM?

k5hart · 03-22-2010, 09:08 PM

Just got my order in! Can't wait to get them.

So maybe this should be a different thread....but who has good tire deals??

Fastest32 · 03-23-2010, 07:54 AM

That AE blog said the 20's would be the first ones out. I guess not.

TyKby2 · 03-23-2010, 10:48 AM

Sublvr72 I sent you a PM asking a couple of Q's about this deal and your website.

Fastest32 · 03-23-2010, 11:30 AM

Wait, they don't fit the back without spacers either? Does this apply to the 73-87's I thought it was just the front that wouldn't fit.

Measure your truck and compare it with the offset of these wheels. Pre-'70 will almost certainly require a spacer. '71-87 rear ends are 3/4" wider on each side (1.5" total) and may not need a spacer, or may only require a thin one rather than the full adapter-style spacer. Only you can determine for sure if you'll need a spacer.

Everyone needs to be clear: the wheels were retooled for a hub fitment issue, not a backspacing problem. If the backspacing was wrong for your application before, it'll be wrong for your application now. Some people used spacers in the past as a workaround for the fitment issue with the front hub, not because it was needed for backspacing.
