Guys,
Here is a link for wheels. I don't think you can consider these "super singles" but they will replace the dual rear wheels and allow you to go with 20" tire selection. I am going with 35" Toyo MT's on these wheels. Can't wait till they get here.

Why only a 35" tire?
Is the truck a 2x4 or 4x4?
Thought you could fit 38s easy on a stock 4x4?

My truck is a 2X4! I want to get a better stance and look, without paying for the 4X4 model. I have a Ram cummins that that is very capable in the snow. Plus Les Scwab quoted me 1850$ for new 35"X12.50X20 and I found a set with 1000 miles on them for $1000 on craigslist. I will get the look I want for less than 3K. Not bad considering the cost of new 22.5 alcoas and 6 new rubber.
what do you think? I just bought my truck last thursday. Looking to set it up. Working on a P/U bed conversion, I have the 84" cab to axle model so I am planning on fabbing up a custom tool box/ diesel tank for the gap.

What I have always wanted to know on these wheels is, even when mounted correctly are they in line. In other words with the fronts dished in and the rears dished out do the front tires stick out farther than the backs? And again, why did they only make them 20x9!?

If you look on their site, they have a pic of a blue Kodiak with them on it. come to think of it, there was no pictures of straight on, so your question is valid. I will call and double check the allignment before I order. Thanks for opening my eyes.
As far as 20X9...I want to run a Toyo MT that will fit on that wheel at 35X12.5 so I really don't mind it only comes in one size. I am not killing the truck with huge loads so I don't mind losing some capacity when we loose the duals.

That's what I'm talking about!!! I really want a set of those rims, maybe not with 46s some thing more user friendly but love those military rims...Wasn't there a thread a while back about them and where to purchase the 2 1/2 ton?

Unfortunatley 2 1/2 ton wheels are a 6 bolt like an Izusu NPR. The 5 ton wheels are a std 10 bolt. Go figure the 45/55's are 8 bolt. Just can't win. I brought up military tires because they are almost all use 20" rims and cheap compared to others. They were never that great on wet pavement but you could get a set siped.

Where can a guy find tires like the military ones you are refrencing? Do they come in smaller sizes? I heard that 37" tires are as big as I can go without a lift on my 2wd. Any body want to chime in on either of those questions?

I did get them. I am searching for lug nut covers and hub covers now. I will get pics up soon. they look good. For anybody looking to get them: Have Shocker polish the back ones for you! They come machine finished and you have to have a pro put them back on a machince and sand them down and buff them back out with rouge. Took me a long time to find a local guy that does it. He refinished semi wheels on his machine.
Pics soon...working on a pickup bed/ fuel tanks/ stacks now. 84" wheel base so gonna need something custom in between bed and cab.
