So I'm going for looks, not gonna have much in the bed or drive it far. Just cruise or go to the store? | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | They will physically fit in the wheelwells, the hard part will be finding 20" rims that are the correct backspace to work on it. Most, if not all, 6 lug 20" rims are intended for late model trucks, whcih have a far too deep backspace to work on the older trucks. You will also need to upgrade the brakes to handle the extra rolling mass.

What's the highest wheel I can go. I'm looking at a cool hot rod style. Is there an adapter I can use? | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I do know that there are a few companies that make both a Smoothie style wheel and a Corvette Rallye styel wheel with the correct backspace in 6 lug up to 17", might even be available in 18s, too. Halibrand also has several 18" aluminum wheels available.
