Alot of people who run stupid wide wheels are doing a few different things as I see it. Alot of shops who do the work don't spell it out to avoid DIY copy cats.

They almost always go for atleast 20's. In order to get more overall clearance.

They often order custom wheels in order to get the right backspacing.

Narrowing the or shortening the a-arms to gain up to a inch I belive.

I have seen a few clip a C10 with a Camaro or Mustang 2 front suspension to just get it done. I have also seen severely narrowed C10 crossmembers online.

You can run wide 15's if that is your goal if you do the clip or severely narrowed crossmember.
