Do most wheel companies make wheels in a large variety of backspacing?

I'm running a C4 rear suspension in my '56 Belair. The rear is mini-tubbed so I know I can fit a 20x12 and a 335 rear tire but I might be limited on my wheel choice.

If not, I can have the half shafts shortened etc but would like to avoid doing that if possible.

Thanks

I'm assuming you're looking for a 2-piece wheel, as cast wheels rarely offer the size you need. Typically you can get up to about 10" B.S. on a 20x12 hoop, and as little as about 3". This may change if two hoops are split and welded together, so make sure you verify this with the manufacturer. Not everybody has the same capabilities.

As Matt said, with 2 pice welded wheels or 3 piece wheels you can get back spaces from within may 4 1/2" minimum to almost to no limit
