8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Well, I've been looking for some these for a while. Detroit Steel just started making them. I ordered some 20X9s and will post up some pictures here in 3 to 3.5 weeks when they come in.

They also come in 22 inch, but you can't get the beauty rings with the 22s.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Looking forward to the pics. Will they take the 3/4 ton caps with clips.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

They will drill, tap and mount clips so you can use the stock cap. I'm going with 2003ish cap shown in the pic. Here are some pics from Detroit Steel and Penn C10.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Thanks for the reply. Those 2003 caps look great on them.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

What kind of back spacing did you get? I'm debating whether I should get those or waiting for artillery style. For those '03 style caps you just need the threaded lug nuts right?

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

THANK YOU for posting this!!!! That information just made my day!!! I can't wait to see pictures of them on your truck!

Front: 20X9 5"bs
Rear: 20X9 4"bs

Wish me luck...

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Good luck. Just ordered mine today. Went with 20x9 5.5 b.s. in front 20x9 4.5 b.s. in back. Let's see how it goes.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Good luck to you, too. If you would, post some pics here so we can compare the 1/2 inch.

Also, what tires are you going to run?

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Will do. I'm thinking 255/40 Or 255/45. Don't want the tire bulging out to much. I ordered them raw because I'm wanting to get them powder coated red and putting those 03 style center caps. I ordered the trim rings as well.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

In for pics!

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Well,

I got 3 of 5 packages today. I just couldn't help myself though.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Well, that didn’t work well...

I’ll fix the photos when I’m done.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

I may need to reconsider my 8 lug wheel options, ...I like the look of these :)

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Nice!! Just got mine powder coated. Should have them on tomorrow. Trim rings should arrive tomorrow also.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Jose,

How did that cap clear the rear axle? I'm having hell with mine.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

I think yours are a bit different. Mine fit good. Might have to trim the rear ones on the little stems inside. I was able to get the plastic nut to catch on the rear ones but didn't turn a whole lot. They're off 88-99 truck I think.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

I may end up swapping to your style then. I had to get some dually caps for the rear. But, plastic caps don't hit the lug threads...

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Can you trim the base to make them shorter? I thought I read some posts of people doing that.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Wow they look amazing.
I have to go and convince my wife that they are a necessary safety item for the truck.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Thanks, John. Should have them mounted tomorrow.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

hata/Jose,
...just curious for your respective trucks, what sort of drop are you running (front and rear)? I'm considering these wheels and want to be sure things clear.
As well, please post pics when tires are mounted :)

Thanks,

Kevin

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

I did 2.5 inch drop spindle in front and 1 inch lowering spring. In the back I have a 4 inch drop spring and 1.5 inch lowering block.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Well that just looks fabulous! What tires are you going to get?:metal:

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Here it is all shoed up. I named him Pappaw. Still waiting on the beauty rings. Hopefully they’ll get here Monday. I'm going to lower the back about an inch. I plan on towing with this truck.

Wheels are 20X9 all the way around. 5 inch backspacing in front and 4 inch backspacing in rear. Tires are Continental 275/45R20. I chose Continental because of availability in the size I wanted and they’re asymmetrical, so I can rotate sides.

And, yes, the bed is not set straight. I’ll fix that soon.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

These look awesome! Is your truck currently lowered?

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Jose's 69
Did your wheels mounted up? What size tires are you going with? Can't wait to see some pictures.
Thanks
Richard

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Do you guys think a 20x11 will fit in back? My truck is still apart and can't measure. I am going with 2.5" drop spindles in front and 4" springs in rear.
Thanks
Richard

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Yes I did. I posted some pics in another thread.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Maybe with like a 6 inch BS. Might be really tight though. I have 3.5 inch drop in front and 5.5 in back.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Kevin,

To my knowledge, the front end is not lowered. I'm lowering the rear end this weekend. I'll post some before and afters.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Not to my knowledge. But, I'm lowering the rear this weekend.

Re: 8 Lug 20 Inch Steelies
 

Richard, my bed is off-center by about a 1/4 of an inch. I have 9 inch wide wheels with 4 inch backspacing. Personally, I wouldn’t go any wider on the outsider edges (5 inches, see my pics above). 10 inch wheels with 5 inch backspacing would be awesome. It will also help with this goofy drum.
