my wheel set is finished
look very similar to stock but they are lighter, stronger, powder coated vs painted etc etc
Lighter and flush with no spacers is what I was going for - nice work BC Forged! And many thanks to UNBROKEN for the recommendation.
I'm installing these on the stock Scorpion tires with a set of Titanium burnt lug nuts. I'll have a weight stock wheel/tire/lugs vs BC wheel/tire/ti lugs a few days after they arrive here

Where are these available?
Just do a google or ebay search and they should come up at various places. For those who want the best performance, I don't think there is a reason to go 21" or larger unless thats the look you're going for. A comparable 20" wheel will be lighter, and have better ride quality given the extra sidewall. I myself plan to stick with 20" diameter when the time comes.

I'm going with Bora spacers front and rear to push them out a bit since i also went with 9.5" .

1/4" up front and 1/2" in the rear should get the job done .
Are you replacing your wheel studs then?

1/2” will be pushing it pretty hard. IIRC I counted 11 threads with a 1/4” slip on spacer.
