Just building my bedford and have put 20 by 14 on the back and 20 by 8.5 on the front and running a 335/35/20 and a 245/35/20. To make this work it has been a full body custom job and to some one that is thinking of getting bigger wheels  just make sure you no what your getting yourself into its no as easly as you think

Please post up photos of your conversion!  8)

yes the studs are only pressed into the hubs of most vehicle's.
as for bedford stud pattern and larger new style rims - 17/18/19/20/22inch rims
if your running standard bedford pattern - 130x 5, the rims off
Porsche cayenne,Audi Q7 and VW touareg SUV/4WD's have the same stud pattern

Hey Greasey Monkey,
Standard CF Bedford stud pattern isn't 130 x 5, it's more like 6" x 5 (152.4 x 5). That's why it's near imposible to get late model rims to fit.

but you are correct that 5x130 is for Porsche cayenne,Audi Q7 and VW touareg,

That's why I was saying I would rather re-drill to 5x120 than 5x130,

yes studs are pressed in, re-studding cost $60
just a thought, i changed to holden HQ stud pattern and kept the 7/16th thread studs (bedford,holden)
If i were to change to a ford stud pattern, i woulda replaced the studs with a ford stud which have a different thread.
A ford pattern with holden studs would make the next owner very confused
i had my center bore hole for my front mags machined out to 89mm from memory, cost about $280 for 4 mags.
and yes i also believe the beddy pattern to be 5 on 6" (152.4mm) with a 7/16 stud

How can i say this without hurting your feelings...Oh, I know, I don't want your stupid things in my cool van
