    8 lug for why?!

    so my truck was confused when it was made. its a 1500HD w/6.0 gasser with 8 lugs. i need some stock wheels. looking for a set of black steelies or maybe i can have a set of stock rims powder coated. id like to do a 4/6 drop but im not sure what a CCSB would look like or if a 4/6 drop would work with my truck. and i cant seem to find a set of black stealies. i do know the current rims need to come off though. some fugly 20's that came with it. as it sits they rub when you turn it to the bump
    02' 1500HD 6.0L bone stock, too many miles 270k ish on the clock, and lots of corrosion..

    I understand getting smaller wheels, but why go from 20's to steelies? Why not some black 18's or a nice set of 16's.

    if i spent the money on aftermarket id prolly go with something bigger really like the KMC slide 22"s but im having a hard time finding them black with 8 lug. and i have no clue what the offset should be. suggestions on width and offset? my current 20s are way wrong, came with the truck and i never took the time to get anything different. looks cool but im tired of trash on the side of the truck and they rub inside. people who spit gum out the window in the summer are not cool for now i just want some cheap stockers till i get the body and stance sorted out. googles kmc wheels..

    Chevy made the 1500hd with a 2500 frame 6.0 and 2500 axles. Its a 2500 but with better interior options. Same go's for a 2500hd its a 3500 with better interior options.

    So...... 1500hd= 2500 with def options
    2500hd= 3500 with def options
