Another 20" wheels question. *sorry*
Hey!
I am from Sweden, great Forum, lots of usable info!
I wonder what backspace I have to choose if I am going to buy Coys C-5 , 20*8.5" front rims with 255/35-20 tires.
And 20*10" rear rims with 285/35-20 tires?
the car is a -69.
I also wonder if the wheels will fit? Will the wheels go outside the chassis? Or will the tires scratch when I turn?
The car has stock trailing arms, has vbp 550 springs up front, and vbp 420 spring rear.
Thanks!!

Here is a link to a site that may help you make some wheel/tire comparisons:

Hope it helps.
For what it's worth, I have 17"x8" wheels front and rear with 4" backspacing and -12mm offset running 235/55-17's and they fit fine.
