Rim offsets? 2/4 drop

Ok so I have a 79 SWB Scottsdale, and I'm looking to put new rims on, now I'm planning on ordering a set of Eagle Alloy's 225's. However I don't really know what kind of offset I should be running and what I should be taking into consideration. (future rear disks?) I was planning on going with a 20x10 on the rear and a 20x8.5 on the front, as well I am going to have a 2/4 drop on the truck. I know I'd love the look of a 4/6 drop better but here in Canada, especially Edmonton I'd be scraping all over the place if I were that low, so I think I have to settle for the 2/4 for maximum drivability. So any suggestions would be great
Thanks

Re: Rim offsets? 2/4 drop

I would run a 5" BS on the 20x8.5's.
And a 5.5" BS on the 20x10's.

Re: Rim offsets? 2/4 drop

Well that was easy, thanks for the detailed response. I don't suppose you have a tire size off hand that you would recommend?

Re: Rim offsets? 2/4 drop

I personally like the 255/40-20's on the 20x8.5's.
And then a 295/40-20 on the 20x10's.

That's what's on 72BlckButy's truck.
