Here is my 1956 Chevy 150 2 Door Post, 396 Big Block, Edelbrock Carb 750, Offenhauser Intake, Headers, Flow Master 40's Mufflers, 69 Camaro Sub Front End with Power Steering and Brakes, Disc Brakes on front, 400 Automatic, B & M Shifter, 9" Ford Narrowed with Drum Brakes, 410 Gear Ratio, Tubbed rear wheel wells, Camaro Tilt Wheel, Vintage Air and Heat (works too), Dakota Digital Dash, Interior is all new black and yellow, new Radio, Seat Belts (yellow), Dynamat, Professionally done, Paint is Yellow with White Pearl Metallic and small flakes and 4 coats clear. Mickey Thompson Sportsman rear tires 31x18.5 new Mickey Thompson fronts. I just picked the car up saturday and today is my birthday so i plan on changing the look of the car from pro-street to more of a pro-touring look, i drove the car alil over 50 miles today in 100 degree heat with the a/c on in memphis city traffic and the car ran about 190-195 degrees so its a driver which the old owner said it was built to be a driver. however i don't like the drag look of the car and wanna give it more of a show car look. i been looking at the 20x14 inch rear coys and want to go this direction but the car has long 1/2 studs, do you guys think it will hurt if i cut the studs down or just replace them with shorter rear studs? Anyway here is a walkaround video of the car along with a photoshop of the wheels i want on the car. Oh yeah here is my pro-touring 1972 Chevelle too.

One of my friend went with the coys 20x14 on both of his 55's and it looks amazing, gathers a crowd wherever he goes, I've got some pics in my old phone, I'll try and get them if I can find the power chord, as for the studs you can cut them and you won't have any problems, done it with a couple of my cars to fit adapters and never any issues.

Are those 55's on air? Tri-fives look so much better with tall (27") OD wheel/tire setups in the front IMO... They need alot to fill the wheel wells.
Heres my fathers so far with Coys too:
