Factory 8” wide wheel were 15x8 with 4” back spacing. I’d look for something closer to that...which will be tough with today’s high backspacing wheels.

Better, width will push the outer edge of the wheel 1.5” out.

If you have Facebook or Instagram Robert's Custom Trucks is quite active on there. That's his K10 with the link conversion.
Yeah I messaged him on instagram since my post netted no response here... thanks
I’m digging this set up..

Once I get the tire and wheels. I’m guessing I’ll need to take them to a shop to mount and balance, of course.
I can install them after that? Will an alignment be necessary?
? Nobody? Oh well...

No alignment needed when you change tires unless you have signs of wear on the older tires indicating a problem with the alignment
What lug nuts would go with those wheels? Having issues finding something.,
When I was going to buy those wheels a few months ago, I don't remember them needing special lugnuts.
I believe standard acorn style
60 degree conical seat 9/16-18 lug nuts.
All I see on summit are 1/2-20 or 7/16-20
Regular nuts it seems are on what I have now not sure they will work with new wheels...might have to zoom in to see

These will work but might not look great.
Some chrome or stainless nuts would look nicer
Here's one of many I found on Amazon

Ok... it’s just a big purchase and I want to make sure I get it right. If what I have will suffice on the new wheels then that’s OK temporarily.
Those lug nuts are nice I’ll add them to my amazon cart. Thanks... they will fit Chevy 8 lug?
If you want a nice black chrome accent
