I just purchased a 1948 Chevy 1 Ton and have been trying to find new wheels. I have read different things regarding wheel sizing, from 19.5" is what you need to clear the tie rods, to you can go 16" with some spacers. I have been through the local junk yards and cannot find any 8 lug tires that fit. Would something like this work?

If not, has anyone bought off the shelf wheels that fit?

I know this is a common topic, and I am sorry for reposting, I just dont want to put down the money and find out they don't fit.
