The 02-05 sierra denali has a 6 lug D60, 9.75" ring gear w/ 4.10s and a G86 Limited slip (not a G80, rumor is it's a trac-lock, but I've never seen proof). If you could snag one cheap enough, you may be able to swap out the steering knuckles and shafts for fixed hubs. I dunno, just throwing out ideas.

Thanks big country and Gibbs, sounds like the SF 14 bolt looks to be my best option because I looks like I have to finance new wheels too. Whatever's cheaper without compromising the strength of it is what I'll gonna get. Would be fun to have a 5-lug though...Z06 rims here I come!!

im pretty sure the only 20s you can get are like 20x12 or something like that
unless you go 17s or 18s you may not be able to get anything narrow enough to work on the front
how are you going to convert the front to 5lug, surely you wont run a 6lug up front and a completely different Z06 5lug out back
oh, and what drop do you have

A) If I can find a 6-lug rear (prefered) then I'm gonna buy a set of SS rims and widen them out to 10.5 to fit more rubber on the rear wheels, because I don't want to be spinning at 80mph on the freeway. (widest 20" come in is 8.5)
B) If it's cheaper to go with a 5-lug rear, I'm sure I can figure out a way to do the same with the fronts, again I'm still learning when it comes to the axles and rear's so that's why I'm still researching + asking Q's. If I go with the 5-lug I have no problem tubbing out the back a little to fit the 345's or whatever those 20" come with. Also the rear disk brakes are something I have to consider because they don't fit on certain rims. Actually might go for 18" rims cuz 20" aren't really my thing but they do look good.
I know a guy who runs a corvette shop and pretty much has wood from the second he wakes up in the morning to when he drives home concerning vette's. His shop does everything to corvette's from susupension, brakes, FI, swaps, etc... He was actually gonna build my engine but lost interest when I told him I wanted to put one of his vette engines in a truck, anyways, I'll go to him about rims if I go with the z06 rims and he'll tell me what can and can't work and we'll go from there.
As far as the drop it's isn't anymore. Used to have a 2/4 but put my tires throught the wheel wells too many times bottom'd out on the LA freeways to many times so I raised it 2 inches all around. So basically the rear has a 2 inch drop but that's it.
This was with the 2/4, truck is sitting alittle high because my driveway slopes.
