Javy - I've heard that regular car type shops won't work on "lock ring" style wheels, but haven't heard of this problem with true truck shops. Switching to tubeless rims is clearly the best answer if you can find them. I know of many Ford guys that switched from 20"s to 19.5"s with no problems, but GM I guess is different. Another option is to use tubeless 22.5s. They show fit over your drums. The bolt pattern would be the concern. I know that many old trucks used 5 bolt on an 8" circle. If that's your size, Chuck Mantiglia of Chuckstrucksllc.com might be able to help. Stu
