20 x 15 wheel options? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

.030over · 05-30-2007, 11:23 PM

I really want to try to do Micky Thompson 29x18x20 sportsman radials on my truck but I am not coming up with many options on a 20x15 or 20x16 wheel. Anyone know of any options or a good wheel outlet that may be able to help me out? I am looking for something on the lines of a torque thrust II look. I have found some in the $2500 each range but I just don't think that I can bring myself to pay more than $1000 a piece for back wheels. It looks like short of the Micky's, I am stuck with using a 305/50/20 on a 9.5" wheel. I hate to have all of this room and only use a 305 tire

Coys offers a car 5-lug bolt pattern 20x14 but it's for narrowed rear-ends w/a max back spacing of 4.5". It's available in polished or chrome for < $700ea.

Yea, I forgot to say that I have a narrowed rear (57") and room for what looks to be about a 17 1/2" tire. The Micky's are 17.2 overall, 15.5 tread. Initial calculations are that I will need 0 offset, give or take an inch. I will have to get a bed mocked up to see some real world numbers though. The Coys look great for the money but that backspacing would definitely not work for me.

Foose nitrous is very similar to the torque thrust (a little better in my opinion) and it is offered in a few offsets, I can not promise but I am pretty sure they offer 14 or 15 wide. They also have a 2 and 3 piece custom line that is available in polished and chrome. I think they are also in the $700 range but well worth it for the ultimate fit and function-plus killer looks! Also Helo and American Eagle make wheels spitting image of the torque thrust, but I am not sure on widths. If you would like some more info, you can reach me at support@hickmantires.com ask for Tony

Mickey T offers a wide 20" wheel just for its tires. I'm not sure what back spacing they offer. Google them & see what info you can find.

Boyd,Intro,Billet,Bonspeed can build them for you. There not cheap. I was going to go that route but Mickey T is the only company that makes a tire that wide. I went with a 20x12 boyd with 315/35/20's
