Now look at the side of the car and where 6 3/4" meet on that ruler. That is where the outside edge of the tire will be if you order wheels from this pot smoker.

The correct B/S will in be in the 5"-6" range for the back and 4.75"-5.5" in the front.
X2, Gearheads78. I have 20X10's on the rear of my '72 and the backspace is around 5.75". 4" would be WAY off.

How wide are your front wheels and what backspacing do you have? What size tires are you running front and back? Thats exactly how I want my wheels to tuck in the rear!!!! Do you have pics of you front? Thanks!!!!!

I'm running 20X10 with 6"BS with 305/35/20's in the rear and 19X8 with 5"BS with 245/35/19's up front.
Make sure you measure and then remeasure before you order your wheels. Also take into consideration that my car is lowered, which is how I got them to tuck like they do. If you have any questions along the way just send me a message and I'll be happy to help.

^^^^^ One of the few cars I have seen that look right with 20s. The tire is what does it. Most people that run a 20 x 10 use a tire size that make it look tall and skinny. Well done
