Another Backspacing Question, 20x8 with "5.625 BS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

I have a chance to get some Boyd Blasters 20x8 with "5.625 BS in a 5x5 lug pattern. My question is do you think that is too much backspacing for a 20x8? Do you think I will have any rubbing on my inside fender wells?

Or do you think they will be too far in?

Sorry for another backspacing question, I couldn't find the right answer in the search.

5.25" BS is the most I would run on a 8" wide rim.
It will be sucked in too far in my opinion.
(and I like them tucked!)

If it was an 8.5" wide rim it would be ok.

Yeah, that's what I was figuring, I was just hoping someone would say "Yeah No Problem" lol. They are nice wheels and the price is good, but I will keep looking.

Thanks Lolife99.
