Anybody seen one with large diameter wheels on the front? ...as in 20x8.5 wheels?

Centerline has a cool looking smoothie that they are selling cheap ($125 ea for 20" and $225 ea for 22")

Any ideas how well they will fit or what it will look like?

not looking to start a fight but you DO know 20" wheels belong on semi's, don'tcha?
see what they got in a 17" or smaller...
it won't look retarded that way.

just my opinion,ok?
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it\'s still on my list

Actually, I would love to get the wheel in a 17 ......but they don't make it that way.  They only make them in 20 & 22" sizes.

.....just trying to figure out if a 20 can be stuffed in the front fenders

I went out and measured the wheel well on mine. The truck is lowered but not to an extreme. The top of the wheelwell is 26.5" from the pavement. The length of the wheelwell measuring parallel to the ground from the reveal at the bottom of the rear of the fender to the front is 30". I have seen many with 17's and they're ok. I think a 20 would fill the opening. Is that what you want?

They kinda remind me of salt flat wheels too.   except for the lug nuts.
