Got a favor to ask, before I pull the trigger on my Billet Specialties, can you supply me with the backspacing you went with? I have been told 5.5 on the back and 4.5 on the front. Just want to make sure.

I would help but I am not positive on the fronts and I have a narrowed rear end so it will be different.

Hi Dennis,

It has been a long long time since I bought my wheels, but I think that you are correct on the back spacing.

Can anybody else chime in just to be sure?

I just checked mine for some one else and the fronts are 18X7 with a 4'' spacing. and the rears are 20X8.5 with a 4.5'' spacing but as mentioned in my earlier post my 9'' rear end was narrowed a little more than the stock one.

It will also depend on what brakes you use I think too. The guys at intro are very helpful with knowing the right spacing on them. Maybe call them or billet specialties and ask if they know. I know they knew At intro as they have done a few of the full-size chevs.
