Decided on wheels, need help w/ tires & backspacing

[pcmcobra]

I think I have finally decided on the coy c-5 wheel. Polished.
20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear, I am just not sure of the tire size and backspacing on the wheels.
I am going to drop my truck, but not drag. Maybe 4-6 or 5-7 at most.
Oh, it's an 86 c10
thanks for any insight.

5.25"bs front 245/40/20 5"bs rear 305/40/20
Those are the same wheels going on my 86
Good luck, post up some pics when it's done!!

Those are good looking wheels. Which finish are you going with, chrome, polished, or gray?

Polished...
Coys had a booth at the Turkey Rod Run, I stopped by and finally saw them first hand. There are several brands that have a similar model, actually almost identical, but the price on the coys sealed the deal.
Did see a 79 c10 that had the 20" gray ones at the show, and they looked sweet.
So far I got about 1/2 the cash for them, maybe after xmas, or if uncle sam is good to me at tax time, I can get the set AND some tires...lol
pics of the red truck: Looks like a 275/45/20 on it from the fullsize pic I have

those are sweet looking wheels,they'll look excellent on your truck.those pics of that red truck don't have 79 headlight bezels he must have changed them.

maybe it was an 81? For some reason I thought he had a sign that said 79, very well could have been another truck I was looking at, memory fails me...it was a LONG week at disney with the kids....lol

anybody else?
