Help with picking 22" Alcoas rear dually wheels

I need some help from the experts here on wheel and tire fitment. Before I can go any further I MUST settle on a wheel and tire combo. Everything else from this point forward with this truck will be determined by the wheels and tires. So here is my dilemma:

From wheelwell lip to frame I have exactly 21.5". I want 1/2" from the frame and 1/2" from the wheelwell lip. That leaves me 20.5" for the overall width for two 22" dually wheels and tires.

Up until yesterday I thought this was impossible because from searching on the Internet two 22" Alcoas with 265/35/22 tires was about 23 and 3/8" wide. I ran across the Townasty wheel, but according to Trevor is about 22" wide if I run two of them together. Still not close enough. I had all but given up on the idea of not narrowing the frame.

Until yesterday... on this forum I came across the Gulf Coast Speed rear wheel which he states is only 20 and 7/8" wide. That I can probably make work with a little massaging of the frame and fenderwell.

Does anyone have dealing with his company? I'm going to call Trevor again at Tennessee Wheel and Tire and see if I just misunderstood because I'd like to do business win him if I can. He is close by, and has been very gracious to answer all my questions on two different occasions.

Any other options out there for me?

Thanks in advance

1970 ford f-250. Regular cab long bed. It is a single rear wheel truck but I am converting to dual rear wheels. I am going to tub the bed so that I do not have to run dually fenders. So bottom line is I am tucking dual 22" wheels with 265/35/22 tires between the frame and the outside edge of the stock wheel opening. If I roll the lip I have 21.5 inches wide to stuff the wheels tires into. I want .5" room from tire to frame and .5" room between tire and wheel opening. Therefore in an ideal world 20.5" wide wheel and tire combo would save me from narrowing the frame. I will if I have too but would rather not. It would save me $1000 I figure to use standard 22" alcoa's as opposed to a Townasty or other but if it keeps me from narrowing the frame I would rather pay the extra.

look in to running a super single or a dump truck front wheel. I know some ppl will tell you they dont make a low pro tire for these but do your research I seen a company down at tex mex 2yrs ago that makes a 22 wide enough for these wheels. High dollar though
