Wheels????
 
I need to find wheels for my 67 short and wide, I think 20", The truck has been lowered. I currently still have the front drum breaks. Changing those this winter. I have 6 studs right now but can change when I do the brakes.
Any suggestion for wheels please show pictures of yours.
Thanks:

Just be careful about the backspacing...swapping to discs in the front will push the wheels out almost an inch. If you change the front to 5 lug, gotta change the rear too.

Al when did you get your wheels? They really gave your truck a bada$$ look, like they way they enhance your trim, where are the other pics?

Wheels look great, what's the right backspacing for 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear on a '71? It's a 2wd blazer but should be same as trucks. How do 20x10 look all around and what about that backspacing?

My apologies if my comment above was or seemed directed at anyone .. just generally speaking. Are the wheels going to be custom offsets or ones you can buy pre-set from the manufacturers? The reason I asked about the budget is you can get the offset much closer with custom (obviously) but what 'works' meaning .. this wheel is offered by this company with this backspacing, this, this or this. Or, here's my wheels .. I ordered them with X Backspacing. Just a different price point all together.

I didn't mean it like it sounded.

My 4/6 drop and disc conversion pushed me out an inch and a half on each side.....I'll have to get different front wheels one of these days because of it.
