gcburdic · 11-12-2010, 10:42 AM

Folks,

I have a lead on some 20x8.5 Torque Thrust with 5" of backspacing with Cooper Discovery tires size P275/50R20.....Anybody running these and have any fitment issues?? Also, what would be a fair price??

Thanks for your input....Geoff

They look cool. 285/50r20s have a good size sidewall. Are they the same size all around?

Make sure to measure the center hole where it goes over the hub, I have some 6-lug 17's that wont go on my 68 chevy pu .Not sure what mods arerequired to install them yet.

I think you have to "massage" the center hole a little....

Just looking right now, but if I get them...you interested in the ones I have?!?!?

STOCKISH · 11-13-2010, 06:41 PM

Sorry man, my bad. The ones in the picture say 285 and I thought those were the ones you were buying.

Geoff I am possibly. What type of green are we talking and how quick? Child#2 will be here next friday and things are getting a little hectic around the house to say the least. Decide what you want and we will go from there. Harold

Looking at my wheels .....they would require considerable massaging.
