only other choice would be a 20 inch Bogart not sure about the 20 inch size but they do make them obviously in the 6 lug I need. Damn why am I so picky...

Nice wheels, tough call.

If you remain on the street, and you can keep the offset with the wheel centerline close to the stock mounting surface, then I think it would be OK IMO.

Yeah normal driving i think im fine but its when I race is when ill get a little worried. Biggest fear would be to brake an adapter and mess up my truck and wreck it.
