18x8 20x10 Torq ii's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Guys

I just bought this truck want to put some 20x10 Torq 2's on the back anybody running a 18x8 and 20x10 combo looking for pics and opinions if it will look out of place looking for a slight rack

bbbc10 · 08-20-2017, 10:46 PM

you can still get the rack look with drop parts.......18's front don't look right with 20s in the rear even if its lowered......I would run a 20" in front also

18x8 & 20x10.....

Scoti,
I have the same rear wheels (TTII) and sits the same as yours in the back. However the front end on mine is not low enough because of the wheels / tires I am currently running. What back spacing are your front wheels and what tire are you running? What is your drop combo on the front. Obviously spindles but did you replace or cut the springs. Any rub issues?
Thanks

Those were 8" wide w/5.25" back spacing & it had 245/45-18's.
Drop was 3" spindles & 1-coil cut from the original sbc springs. I trimmed the factory bump-stops down a little but they kept the tires from buzzing. Without the bump-stops, it buzzed too much.

Thank you - my 17 X 8 TTII with 4" BS are my problem. Will have to consider another pair of wheels. Perhaps tires too as it is tough to find matching tires for a set of 17's and 20's.

SCOTI · 08-22-2017, 04:36 PM

That back spacing requires modifying (trimming) the lower a-arm for clearance.

75C10 · 08-22-2017, 05:31 PM

I have tubulars upper and lower. Same issues?

More than likely, no. But you don't know for sure w/o measuring. See how much space you have before possible contact will made when the wheel is turned each direction (lock-to-lock).

75C10 · 08-22-2017, 06:23 PM

Was your rubbing experience with the wheel wells inside or with fender / molding area?

I do believe my thread has been hijacked..........................carry on with your issues

LuvNLife · 08-22-2017, 08:49 PM

My 87 on black chrome TT's, 18's and 20's. I went with a 8" on the rear and used a spacer to bring it out flush.

Not hi-jacked. You asked for pics, I provided per your request. Questions will arise from others based on the content within the replys. You might have wondered the same related questions.

18x8 (255/55/18) front
20x10 (285/50/20) rear

nitram · 08-26-2017, 09:35 PM

Another

jkk · 08-27-2017, 04:06 AM

looks good thanks

Skeetman · 08-28-2017, 09:33 AM

I would use 20's at all four corners. I think it would look better.
Here is my truck with 18's up front and 20's in the rear.
