Looks like summit has all these sizes in stock surprisingly, so I think I am just going to be buy a single pair of the 20x9.5s which I know I will be using in the rear, mount them on some 275/40/20s and then put them on front just to see how/if they fit.

On a somewhat related note, I have a shorter 68 rearend in my C10 and was just going to use 3/4 spacers to push the rear wheels out but I noticed that it seems (for whatever reason) that the "universal spacers" from, say, Allstar Performance, and a number of other companies that work for 5x4.5, 5x4.75 and 5x5 have the 5x5 holes drilled out for 5/8 studs (while the other bolt patterns are all for 1/2 studs). Can't figure out why they do this, but what are all you guys using for spacers as I imagine the larger holes on 1/2 studs would create issues.

Trying to understand why you would use spacers At All. Can’t you get the right off set to avoid this?? I’m thinking of changing wheels and this would be good info for me.
Thanks
