A little help with wheels
Hello everyone! After having our first child this fall, I'm getting back to my build about 9 months of a hiatus. I'm trying to button up the chassis before moving to the mountain of body work I have waiting on me.
I put a heidts mustang II front end in as well as a 9"rear with a heidts 4 link set up. I'm having the axles redrilled this week to match the 4.5 up front. Right now I have 4 mismatched wheels just so it will roll. I'm looking at wheels and tires and need some input. I'd like to go with a 20" front and back. The wheel I found that I like is 20x8.5 with a 38mm offset and 6.25 backspace. Just wondering if these would work and how to go about measuring. I also have no clue what size tire I'll need to run. I do have 2" drop spindles up front. Appreciate all the help and knowledge in advance!

Since you have you new suspension mounted, you'll only need the specifics on your wheel and tire choice(s) to make the determinations you seek. Don't forget, the mounted tire is going to add to any measurement you have of the wheel.
