19.5" 8 bolt rims
This spring Im going to start on my 72 K20 project and was considering running a 19.5" rim (possibly 22.5"'s). Im not really looking for a "nice" rim, steelies would be fine. Im pretty sure I've seen a C20 that came special order with 19.5's. Are these rims around, or really hard to find? Any info or pictures would be great. Thanks

8 lug steel 19.5" wheels are found on older GM step vans (bread vans, P-30s). You should be able to find them on eBay for $50 a piece or so.

I've heard great things about Ricksons. I want an 8-lug truck just so I can use em.

Re: 19.5" 8 bolt rims
Yes there are single wheel 8 lug 19.5s and I believe they will even take a 3/4 ton hubcap.
I was at a scrapyard awhile back and saw about a dozen 14 bolt single wheel rears and all still had the 19.5 wheels attached.

You can also find 8 bolt 19.5 wheels on 92-97 F-450 ford trucks if you can't find the chevy bread truck style.

Re: 19.5" 8 bolt rims
My friend put them on his 93 chevy dually without any big issues. The ford wheels actually give you a little more room inbetween the tires which aid in running a wider tire.
