20" LTZs on a Square
 
Anybody ever heard/seen of anyone running a 20" LTZ on a square? Seems like you could run adapters to overcome the 6-lug issue. Just wondering if/how well they fit.

Swap to 6-lug aftermarket rotors up front and 4x4 axles in the rear might be the answer.

5-lug to 6-lug adapters are a 2-piece adapter and are very SCAREY in my opinion.

The factory wheels are a pretty high theft item around here, and are pretty pricy to replace. For that kind of bread, there are a lot of better looking wheels, IMO.

The guy I buy my wheels from thinks these are the best looking wheels. He is always telling I should get these for my 86. I don't think they would look good on a square. You can get them in black also. I can get them at the same price as after market wheels.

I kinda thought about that too. I knew I could use the 4x4 axles/drums, but wasn't sure what to do about the front.

Kinda wish there was a more "off the self" solution for the front. I like being able to just run to Napa for serviceable items like brakes.

I can't find LTZs in 5 lug. Only the Silverado wheels, which I don't particularly care for.

So aside from the 6-lug issue, the offset/backspace should work, right?

The back will probably need spacers.

They make 5 on 6 spacers.

Yep.
And they are a 2-piece spacer that bolts together.
I would never run them.
