Default Spend my money, 5 lug users come on in!

How many of you guys run aftermarket 5 lug wheels that are not drag wheels. I'm looking for a nice set of 20" wheels that are 5 lug to replace my bigs and little's. Does any have any different wheels with the proper backspace and off set on there truck from a car wheel? Or do I just take all my drag stuff off and sell the 5 lug swap parts to buy the 6 lug wheels I want? Help me find some wheels for this pile before I sell them

Truck is pictured

I re-drilled the front hubs and tapped them 1/2-20 threads and then installed 3" screw in studs. For the rears I did the same thing. For the rotors/drums I re-drilled them to 5*4.75 bolt pattern. I made a jig at the machine I was working in.

Yes, wheels that are 18+ and have something close in fitment and offset with proper backspace....... There are a TON of wheels just non that I find interesting enough to put on. And most wheels are 15" that I find. Looking for 20" wheels to put on and the closest factory wheel I have found is the new camaro SS wheels at 20x9.5 with 6.38" backspace and i wanna say +54mm offset...... The hard challenge is finding wheels that are as close to factory truck measurements as possible.


I anyone else is running 5 lugs post up your pics

A lot of people run 5 lug, myself included. If you want to run 18+ wheels, you're best off going back to 6 lug. Wheels will be much cheaper and more abundant.

What size ET streets are those?
