What do I need to do this?

I want to get the '64 fitted with some new shoes before summer. I like the look of larger wheels, 20"-22", but like the stock Silverado LTZ wheels too. Does anyone have the specs to fit aftermarket wheels on our 6 lugs? Something like these :

Are you saying the wheels you want don't come in 6 lug? If yes, the cheapest/easiest fix is adapters. These would be ok if your truck is built mainly for show, but I wouldn't recommend them if you drive it much.

For a driver, you can do a disc conversion on the front. Rotors are available off the shelf in 5 on 4-3/4" and 5 on 5". If you prefer to stay with drums, your stock hubs and drums could be redrilled.

For the rear you can get aftermarket shafts in 5 on 5", and on special order, 5 on 4-3/4". As with the fronts, you could also have your stock shafts and drums redrilled.

I have the 6 x 5.5" right now. I just wanted to start looking for wheels with (x) offset that are (x) big, running a size (x) tire, without having to modify my truck any.

Here's an earlier thread with several posts showing large 6 lug wheels, beginning with # 45. Some include backspace information. If you see something you like you might want to PM the owner for more specific details:
