      With the right backspace, you shouldn't have a problem with that tire.

      No problem fitting the big Chevys with a 20x10.

      I think a 285/30 /20 is not enough side wall for the Impalas. We use a 275/40/20 or a 295/40/20

      Thanks Tim,
      I like that, I deff don't want rubberband tires with no sidewalls.
