Re: 18,19,20's wheel size.

The 5" BS for the front is good. It's the rear BS I was explaining & the effects on the overall 'look' of the wheel/tire combo on the truck.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The fronts sound good. You might need t trim the lip of the lower a-arm to give a little more clearance from rubbing when making tight turns.

I would go w/4" BS on the rear. So.... if you use the 5.4"BS wheels, you'll want the 1.5" adapter.

What size tires again?

245-45-R18 in the front and 275-40-R20 in the rear. When I pulled some measurments on my truck I came up with a 1" to 1.5" adaptorin the rear. It was hard to be exact without wheels to test fit

I always 'reverse calculate' using some wheels I already have access to. I typically use steel ralley wheels 'cause I always have 1 or 2 around.

See how a known wheel fits & get BS measurements. Then add or subtract the difference of the 'new' wheels BS & see how far in or out you need to go.

Re: 18,19,20's wheel size.

Chevyman, Those are the FOOSE Nitrous II's. The best price I found was from a place called TiresDelivered.com out of Ohio. The wheels were 2500 and I paid 600 for the tires. Now, these prices include the shipping to my door, mounting, balancing and new lug nuts. The color on the valve cover is a 2004 GM Sunburst Orange. I'll get the OEM code and post it for you.

When they come in next weekend I will test fit them and take some pics to post
