New Guy Here. My name is Mario and I would appreciate your input.

Question on fitment of 20 inch Eagle Alloys for my 1978 Monte Carlo with stock suspension.

Got a friend offering me some 20x8.5 wheels with 5x4.75 bolt circle, 5.264 backspace and a +14.00mm offset. Tires are 245/45r20.

Would i have any issues with rubbing? Would they stick out at all or tuck in? Would I need spacers? LMK what you all think please. Thanks!

Should fit on the front, probably not in the back. They might, but it'll be really close for the wheels.

The tires don't have a chance in hell fitting the front, possibly the rear but it will close back there too. Drop the middle down to a 30 and they will

Too much back space. For our cars you should keep the BS at 4.50 or less.

I'm running 18x9.5 on all four corners with 5.25" backspacing but my frame is notched. I also haven't driven it yet to verify the front won't hit. Appears right now they will minus trimming a little of the front lower edge of the fender

A friend should let you test fit them first to see what kind of clearance issues you might have.

That should fit in front. Larger front brakes will help push the wheels out a little in front (Blazer spindles or B-body). In back, 1" bolt on wheel adapter.
