    It's been very difficult trying to find an 18-20" wheel with a 4 Inch back space. Typical Chevy 5 by 4.75 bolt patern, 8" wide is fine. 8-9.5" on the rear is fine, but the backspace is making it very difficult. I have to have it to accomodate the exhaust on this car, as many of you may know. And, it's what I have to have for this 64 Impala after installing 4 wheel disc brakes. Foose, Centerline, Boyd, Asanti, and other custom wheel builders have them for two arms and a leg, but I can't help but wonder who might have something, possibly old school, for a fair price, that will offer small offset for the calipers and a negative offset to the tune of 4" or less backspace.

    Never thought it'd be sooo difficult!

    This is a traditional hot rod and kustom message board. Your best bet for getting technical ***istance with something like 20" wheels is most def. someplace else.
