Those rims are very nice, and seem to be an easy find.

What do you plan to do to get correct backspacing?

No blocks on the 2wd trucks. I pulled out the thick-*** bottom leaf on each side (1 inch there) as well as out one of the main springs on each side. There are 4 mains stock...now there are 3. New U-bolts and new center bolts. $48 in parts and 1.5 hours worth of time are worth every penny. Rides a good bit better too.

I will get wheel spacers for the newer wheels. Even the stock ones are sucked in a bit more than I like, so 2" spacers with the 20x8 wheels will get me where I want to be.
