Ive got a set of 20x8.5" Centerlines with 5.4" of backspacing and 225/35/20 tires. Have no front suspension on my truck, but they DO tuck on the front of James. If they will tuck on his, they will tuck on just about anything.

Hey man best bet is to measure for your self instead of guessing and hoping it will fit here is some information I posted about backspacing and offset to help explain what it is hope it helps :)

Baha wrote:
you could always shorten your axel, some wheels have a maximum backspacing. My Centerline wheels were custom ordered with a maximum backspacing of 5.5" and that still wasn't enough for the back. The term backspacing is the distance from the edge of the wheel to the mounting face


Image

Offset is a little harder to understand, to get the offset of a wheel first find the centerline, and the offset is the distance from the mounting face to the centerline of the wheel. It's almost always expressed in milimeters, and either positive or negative. If the wheel has a positive offset that means that the mounting face is in front of the centerline relative to the face of the wheel, If the wheel has a negative offset that means the mounting face is behind the centerline relative to the face of the wheel. Found some diagrams hope this helps man.

Also if you need to convert offset to back spacing simply divide the wheel width in half, and add the offset whether it be negative or postitive. Ex say the offset is -35mm on an 8" wide wheel.

8"/2 = 4 + the offset (-35mm)

= 4 + (-35mm) and [35mm = 1.379"]

=4" - 1.379"

= 3.621" backspacing

If you want them to tuck no, but if you just have a static drop they will look pretty good

Over 1", but don't worry you can get your axle shortened.
