I'm very picky when it comes to wheels myself but I would go with a lightweight 20x8.5 or x9 with some 305/50/20s on a level'd truck they look perfect.. Stock 20s weigh a ton and there not very many aftermarket wheels that look that great imo

Sand 180 gr
Sand 400 gr
2 or 3 coats adhesion promoter
1 light coat plastic primer "Autozone"
3 coats of dupli color perfect match
3 coats clear coat

After that with all the sanding, it turned out fairly smooth, but I need to wet sand them a little bit to get them all shinned up.

if you dont want flat black ss 20s then go with american racing atx artillery's in polished chrome- http://www.americanracing.com/browse_atx.asp

either of those wheels'll look great
Come on dog, you know I'm not a huge fan of black wheels. Although I did think about it on mine because it's almost all black and white. I am just afraid to go with black wheels because I think sometimes they look gaudy. I like those atx wheels. I've thought of them before. What you think of the KMC monsters?

Could I run 305/20s on a stock suspension cranked? Or would I have to ford key/add a leaf/trim? That comes out to what. . . 32x12?
