Want Pics of 72 Blazer w/20'x12'

Thinking about putting 20 or 22' wheels on my new 72 blzer and need to know if I need to go 10 or 12' wide? Would like to see pics also. Any help is appreciated.

I don't have pics but I would go with 20x12's. 22's would look like a DONK and 10's don't have that nice deep look.

There's a 73-75 K5 running around my town with 20x12's and it looks really nice. I wish I had pics so you could see it.

Tires I would do 33's.

What rims and what size lift do you have in mind?

No you don't NEED 1ton axles but 20's are a lot of wheel and will kill a set of brakes, bearings and anything attached to the axle quickly.
