Help me keep my 6 lugs....(wheel choices needed)

Well I'm real close to pulling the trigger on a 4.5/6" drop with front discs/booster for the new 1969.

There is no way in hell the truck will roll on the current wheels/tires once she is broght closer to earth. I really want to keep the original 6 lug set up (I like 6 spoke wheels to hide the rear drums) but I need to find some wheels with the correct back spacing and width to work.

I would love some input from the back spacing gurus.

Here is what I'm looking for...(I would prefer not to run spacers but will if need be....nothing huge)

20x8.5" in the front that works with the new spindles.

20X10" or 22X??" that will work with the drop and the 1969 rearend.

The truck needs to tuck a little tire and look low when done. Not quite sure on color yet. I would like something that would look good with the yellow/white and work with a future paint choice.

Is there anything half way resonably priced that will work (no custom $4,000 wheels) and look good?

Here are two that I am looking at....

Liquid metal wingmans.... (20x8.5 and 22 x9.5)

Boss 330 (20x8.5 and 22x9)

Thoughts?

Other suggestions?

Should I go 5 lug?
