Curious, what wheels are you ordering? Whatever it is, we can help. Backspacing is not a problem at all. Check out our website, www.driverzinc.com, and feel free to call to talk.

I would suggest that you measure the wheel wells to see how large of a tire you can fit in there. Then order a Tire based off of that info.

Once you determine the max tire width & Height. Then you can consider a rim and it's width that is needed. As with most 20" Tires they are very tall.

275/35ZR20
Rim Width 9 -11
Tread Width 10.9 on 9.5
Tire Height 27.6

285/30ZR20/XL
Rim Width 9.5 - 10.5
Tread Width 11.5 on 10
Tire Height 26.7

285/30ZR20 (( not that wide but it's a decent height ))
Rim Width 8 - 11'
Tread Width 11.4 on 10
Tire Height 26.8

285/55R20/XL
Rim Width 8 - 10'
Tread Width 11.2 on 9
Tire Height 32.3

295/40ZR20
Rim Width 10 - 11.5
Tread Width 12 on 10.5
Tire Height 29.5

295/45R20/XL
Rim Width 9.5 - 11
Tread Width 11.6 on 10
Tire Height 30.5

Once you have the tire determined / selected you pick the rim. If you want the deep dish look that all depends on the width of your rear end (not your girlfriends either). If you ride has a wide rear end that you may not be able to get a deep dish without narrowing the rear end. Which may i add is much easier to narrow then your girlfriends rear end. It's seems to be even harder with your wife rear end.

Okay enough of my banter. I hope this helps

I know this tread is old, but I just want to thank Syborg TT for his help

Ordered the wheels about 4 months ago, and finally got them this thursday.. I`ve ordered 18x8 and 20x10, but the rims I`ve got was wrong, got 20x8,5 in the rears..
Dont want to wait 4 new months for other wheels so I just mounted them..

Yeah...pics please.
Bummer about your 20x10's.I bought a pair of 20x8's from a guy who was going to run them on his El Camino but never did...I found them to be too skinny looking for my tastes.

I think I'm going to shelve my 20" dreams...
