8 Lug 20's anyone got them on their truck?

I have a 72 that I just put a 67 front clip on and did a 4/6 drop. 3 inch spindle drop with 1 inch coil drop for the front. 5 inch coil drop with 1 inch block for the rear. I have the 8 lug pattern and am looking to run 20's. Anyone got pics of their rig or see some 8 lug 20's out there that they like? Thanks.

Go "old school"...8.0-19.5's. They were an option with the 3/4 and 1-ton trucks!

Thats what my parents motor home have, 19.5 inch wheels. Why do big heavy duty vehicles do that with the .5 inch like 19.5, 22.5 or 24.5?

Who knows, but they have been doing that for many years...long before the 20's came out.
