What is the backspacing on the 20" OEM Wheels. Just the basic chrome ones that came stock with the stock 33" tires. Anyone know?

no you need a spacer...someone argued that a 1/4in spacer would work but mine is 1.5in. I cant see such a short one working

You have to install longer wheel lugs with that large spacer, or am I thinking of the wrong spacer?

Depends on the thickness of the spacer. Many of the thicker (3/4" and up) wheel spacers have their own lugs



thinner wheel spacers use the stock lugs

I got mine from a member on here but just google hub centric wheel adapter....

And no you don't need longer wheel studs w the thick spacers...actually if you get less than 1.5" you need to shave the studs a little
