Lyle Van Wert and some others have built up 20" rims by cutting the centers out and then with proper machineing, Welding in a plate or center out of the appropiate rim for the 8 lug pattern. The offset on a stock 20" is quite deep to accomidate dualing. So the new plate or adapter has to be welded in at least 1-1/2" shallower to lessen the offset. Another option would be the 11:00x18" Gama Goat which is 40" tall, same height as a 9:00x20" and is easier to adapt. Tom
