Re: what backspacing for bagged 68
20x8.5 with 5.75 BS for the front
and 20x10 with 4.75 BS for the rear 255x40 front 295x40 rear This is what I have on my 68 but you may want to go to 5.00 BS on the rear. I had to do some mods on the inner metal on the bed to clear the tire. I wanted the tire as close to the lip as possible so that is the reason I went with the 4.75, the 5.00 might resolve this issue. Hope this helps.

Up front, an 8" wheel uses 5.25 BS; 8.5" wheel uses the 5.75" BS. The 71-87 rears need more BS than 67-70 rears because the 71 & later housings are wider. We both are using 68 rear housings. N2Billet left his wheel tubs the factory width & re-worked the inner-tub thats tucked up between the inner/outer bed-walls. I mini-tubbed mine 1.75" & left the inner-tub alone. Either way works.

Re: what backspacing for bagged 68
The '73 rear is 1.5" wider. You will need more backspacing- like 5.5 on a 10" wheel. You can get away with 5.25 on the front with an 8.5" wheel...
