Will this combination work on a 77' with offset T/A's:

Front: 18X8 (255/45/18) 4.5" backspacing
Rear: 18X10 (285/40/18) 5.5" backspacing

Thanks

No need for offset trailing arms when running 18s. I run a 18X10 with a 5.5 backspacing and stock trailing arms. I did relocate the ebrake cable bracket

I already have the offset T/A. Had to rebuild them and swapped them out.

So they should work. I am ordering them off the internet and don't want to get them and then they don't fit and have to ship them back.
