Stepside Rims
Does anyone out there have pics of a stepside with Ridler rims (695) 18x8s for the front and 20x10s for the rear? I just placed an order for my truck but nervous about the look.

Re: Stepside Rims
A 10" wide rear tire won't fit on a stepside without rubbing (unless you tub)

Re: Stepside Rims
As long as the backspacing is right and you don't get the rear tire too wide, the 10" wheel will be ok. You may be limited to a 275 width tire, though.

Re: Stepside Rims
Axle doesn't matter as long as the offset is right.
On my 69 short step I have a 17x9 rear wheel with 5" backspace. I have a swapped in axle from a '72 in 5 lug. I'm running a 275 55 17 tire and have about a fingers width clearance on both inside and outside of tire. That's pretty much the limit to what fits. You might go to a 285 in a 40 series profile, but keeping the height near 29" was important to me. My truck is dropped 7" in the rear with a DJM flip kit on the leafs.

Re: Stepside Rims
I bolted these up then removed them and sold them. I now have 20" Rally wheels. On those I went 8.5" with 5.0 BS and rear 9.5" with 5.75 BS.

Re: Stepside Rims
The wheels just came in but I'm waiting on tires. A friend said that he has the same wheels but had to modify the inside of the rear fenders.

Re: Stepside Rims
Just put the new Rally wheels on (didn't install center caps). I am running a 9.5" wheel out back with 5.75 BS and can air it out and clear fender inside and out.

Re: Stepside Rims
I have the 72 rear end, I can't remember the exact measurement but it's wider than the original 68. Front tires are 245/45/20, rear 275/45/20
