Widest Rear Wheel

[BBKG]

I have a 1994 2.2L S10 2wd dropped 2in front 3in rear, I'm going with 20's. I want the widest wheel with the biggest lip possible in the rear. 20 x ? Rear


Thank-you in advance! :D

You will need to know the offset of your 20" wheel. Also, take note of the offset of the current wheel along with the size of your current tire. Next measure the distance from the current tire to the inside of the fender (this will help with how much bigger you can go). I don't know how to tell but I would bet a couple dollars that if you called up a tire place that they could help you with the size of tire you can put on. If they tell you that 20's won't fit, just say "Yes they will, i've seen lots of pics, so, can you help me?" Or something like that. I'm a little more pushy when people tell me no but you may not be so say what you wish to convince them that 20's will work. :D

10" wide is about the max. you will have to look at your stock wheels and see how much backspacing you want to get the widest lip. You can only go so far from the wheel mounting surface on the drum to the rear fender lip, so measure that and add the rest of the width to the back side, making sure it will all work of course.

I just put a new set of rubber under mine.
18x9 rim with a +14 offset. Fronts are 235 40 18, rears are 255 45 18. The rears have plenty of room, fronts rub on almost lock turns. I went with the 255 45 in back since they are closest to stock diameter, and so the speedo is pretty close (stock is 27.1 diameter, these are 27.02) Truck has been lowered 2/3 (spindles, blocks)
