Howdy Ted...& welcome. Glad to see another Skoolie here. As for wheel choices, I've been told there are some ten lug 22.5's out there. Here is a quote from an earlier post...

In 1956 Chevy used that bolt pattern (10-lug same as '42-55) with 22.5" wheels on the 1.5 ton trucks. As far as I know it was only 1.5-tons, as the 2-tons had 6-lug, stud-centered Budd wheels. Best I can tell these wheels were only installed on Chevy trucks from 1956-1959. That makes the wheels somewhat difficult to find.

That said, most anything can be made to fit either by altering the center hole, lug sizes or via adapter plates.Best of luck and if you find anymore related info, please pass it along. Best of luck with the build and do post a few pix as you go.
