What Backspacing??
« on: September 28, 2010, 07:56:20 pm »
Hey all. I've go an '84 GMC K20 that I'm plannin' on liftin' 6" and probably gonna run 35x12.50 15's on. I've found a wheel style that I like and I want a deep dish look. The wheels I found are available in 2.75 & 4.25 backspace so I was thinking about goin' with the 2.75's to achieve that look. My question is, would 2.75" be too little backspacing?? Example pics would be great, I'd hate to order these wheels without havin' an idea of what the look like or if there will be clearance issues. Thanks for any and all help.

Does anyone know if 15 inch steel wheels will clear the front brakes on an '84 K20?? Thanks.
