Allright ive got 4x4 sheetmetal alround, wound torsions in the front and 2inch lowering blocks in the back so not to low,
Will 20" X 8.5" with a 35P offset tuck without rubbing the crap out of my fenders etc if i lower it more

Cheers for your help in advance

It'll probably be pretty close but it should be alright with the 4x4 metal.

So basically you are running a 8.5" wide rim with a backspacing of about 6 1/8"...If you plan on body dropping it there is no way. (shy of narrowing the suspension) If you are gonna stay around a 4 to 5 inch drop you should be ok. You can always roll your fender lips and don't run spindles or control arms so you will have a bit more camber in the front. How much lower do you wanna go? What size tire are you running?

hey bro, i got these exact wheels with 2x4 fender and bed and they just tuck, i got my truck slammed to the rubbers all around and i just grined the lip off my fenders in the middle, as long as your not thinking bags, or anything like that these will work perfect for you... i will have pics of mine up next week soemtime when shes all done.....

cheers for your help

Honestly it just depends how dedicated you are to getting them to tuck and how low you want to go. With a body drop no way... laid out... maybe? I would say the biggest problem you are going to have is in the rear. Let's take my truck for example. I am body dropped 2 3/4 inches and I am running a 17x7 with 5 3/8" backspacing. (which is very close to a 35mm offset if my calculations are right.) I running a 205 40 17 for tires.On my dawg without narrowing anything and non 4x4 sheet metal (4x4 sheetmetal only helps if you are not body droppped) it is a tight squeeze but I clear. You are talking about running a 20 inch wheel that is an inch and a half wider than mine with an offset that is the same. However bear in mind that the taller tire will end up hitting the side of the bed as mazda bedsides are not straight up and down. And again all of this is moot without really knowing what size tire you are running. So how low do you wanna go? I am not saying don't do it but you need to be sure you know what you are in for depending on how low you want to be...

Here is a quote from Russ-D I found over on street source. If anybody would know he would.

"On a body dropped mazda a 7 inch wide needs about +32, 7.5 about +39, 8 about +46 and 8.5 would need as I said, +54. Which you cant get in 6 lug without buying a 3000 dollar set of billets. Redrill to 5 lug, lots of high offset 20's on 5 lug."

are they 6 lug chevy bolt pattern? if so drill out the center hub or get them machined. if will give you 1/4" inch minimum clearance (its how much i got after i removed the 1/4" spacers i used for my 22's to fit on my 90 b2200 after i drilled the center hub out i didnt need them anymore and gained 1/4" clearance... and mine tucks.....i have a 9.5" wide rim/tire overall (8" wide rim) up front and i rolled the fenders (4x4 and it tucks damn good... kinda close but i'm still tucking 22's
