It would have to be a 1ton truck because the adapters they use are 8 lug to 10 lug.

Semi wheels on a pickup ain't cheap at all either.They come 22.5 or 24.5 and most mill them down to a even 22 or 24.The tires to fit them and adapters adds up.Take a look at http://www.tnwheelandtire.com/site/769454/page/427386 or http://www.americanforcewheels.com/wheels

Its not just the lip its the whole rim and the ones that figured out how to do it ain't telling how to do it. tnwheelandtire will mill down any semi rim you ship them last time i checked it was 125 a rim but it was years ago.

I paid $4500 for my 22" TowNasty set up install'd in Jan '11. with spike's .
4 wheel 22" package is $3500 , 6 wheel package is $4800.

most any machine shop can turn down the wheel's if they have a big enough laith.

i pieced my semi wheel package together thanks to craigslist......i give 1200 bucks for 6 milled 22s.....then i bought a set of adaptors for 450.....when they got here there were no lug nuts.....think i had about 150 in lugnuts.....then i bought 6 new tires they were right at 900 mounted...plus lug covers, hub, covers....all and all it was around 3k

Re: humm... 24s semi rims
 
Not to bad but not to have the rear dualled out. .. lowered 3in would be great. .. but I have my eye on a couple crew cabs now.. .

"Silly" is too kind for that. Closer to awful… unless the truck is lowered considerably, wheels like that or those pictured should not be considered.

Horrid.

The wheels are on backwards too. The cuts in the rim are supposed to go forward, not backward.
