20x10.5 rear?

You can run 10.5 wide rim in the rear?? I thought 10 was the widest possible. No rubbing at all??

I'm thinking of doing 18x10 in the rear with the 295s

Go for it. A 295 on a 10" wide wheel might be pushing it. The most I would do on a 10 is a 285. Hope this helps.

Could you fit a 295 tire on the back with these 10.5's. I'm thinking of going this route, but I want to get the max amount of rubber under there.

An off-set in the area of 34-38 should work pretty well. An oem 18x9 rear wheel fits fine on the front axle and its off-set is a 38 if I can recall correctly.

I want to use the Rennetech 20's, but want a 295 in the back. Would a wheel spacer help any at all?

et is actually, 39, but we won't argue. It holds a 275 nicely and the offest could actually be a but more agressive.

Sorry to disagree with all the props. RT monolites look great, but having 20s would suck and running narrow tires would even worse.

beautiful setup.. very beautiful wheels.. I'm surprise that 10.5 fit on the back, I guess with the correct offset it's possible.... I think 295 works way better on 10.5 than on 10's.. and 285 is just right for 10's.

Can you fit a 295 and a 10.5 in. rim in the back, or do you need to roll the fenders to avoid rubbing? This is the set-up I want to run, just want to know if it will fit.

295s fit fine on the rear IF the offset is done right. I've only been playing with 18s, which may be easier than 19 or 20s, but the concept is the same.
