Default Wheel Help Please.

Ok I have an 05' Z71 , I dont think I can take off the factory fender flares without a scuffage problem underneath them. Will my truck look like hell with them still on it with wheels? Any pics of trucks with 20's and flares? Also...what kinda of backspacing will I need to try and make them not look waaaay tucked under. I want them out as far as I can get em' without rubbing problems. (I want 20's with pretty good rubber size, like close to SS size rubber.) Thanks for your input...

you can take the flares off. with the flares i would run a 20x10 with a 4" back. nitto makes a at tire 305-40-20? i think that would look real good. but a 4" back on a 20x10 will be hard to find. but it will be worth the look.

Is a 20x10 with 4"BS The one way the wheels will look right? I mean. I dont want em tucked in alot, but I dont wanna pay mucho $$ for a hard to find wheel either. Im just worried that my wheel flares have maybe scuffed the clear along the edges a bit, I dont want it to look like crap if I take em off. The truck is only 4,500 miles old, but still, its looks scary...

Just went and looked, I am sure I can not take off the flares...there are too many spots where the clear is dull from scuffing. Dont know what I'll do, gonna be hard to decide on wheels without seeing any trucks first.

are your flares the same color as the truck? i know a guy who has a white 05 GMC CC Z71 with 20's. The flares are the same color as the truck and it looks real good with the wheels.

this is just what i think so do not take it personal. with a z71 you should throw some 20' with nittos all terains i think it look bad ***. 4x4 with nice rims and no street tires is nice in my book

I would like to see pics of this if anyone has a z71 setup like that. I think I saw a truck once that had a setup similar but I didn't get a good look. I have been thinking of doing this to mine.
