Factory steelies from a '92 GMC C2500. Kind of sad I can't use the center caps that came with them, but oh well.

16x7 with 245/70r16.


Man, I need to take some new pics.

Why not use the center caps? Its as easy as changing the lug nuts...

Not sure what size stud the 3/4ton uses but they have many selections:

I know that for the 1/2 ton that I did some time back, I used the 1/2"-20 lug nuts to be able to use the black plastic lug nut covers that hold the center cap on the wheel.

Chrome steelies here!

Looks awesome! :metal:

The C20 uses a 9/16-18 thread on the lug nut. That site has a part number that would work, and I will have to order a set, but the rears won't work, because they won't fit over the axle caps on the Dana 60.

Thank you for bringing that site to my attention.

Glad I could help...

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

If you get dually caps for the rear they should clear the hubs

I got mine powder coated a few months ago.. very happy with them.. I also put a youtube link for a video I posted. You can get a closer look at one of the rims in the video.

When I bought my '72 it had OEM 6.5 x 16.5 wheels. I had the 9.75 x 16.5s with 33/12.50s and I think I already showed a picture. I tried to sell it back in '07 and wanted to keep the wheels,so I swapped the tires onto a set of 8.25 turbine-style wheels. Once those tires started checking I painted up a set of '80s GM 6" wheels with mounted 235/75-16s to get me by till I put the 6" lift on to fit the 37/12.50-16.5 Super Swampers mounted on 8.25 x 16.5 steelies . But now I have come to consider maybe not go so big and unload the wheels,tires,and suspension in favor of running a 2-4" lift with a set of 255/75-16s mounted on Accuride 7" steelies that I have. Last week I bolted them on. They fit,but I want it off the tires more (and original springs are tired). I think I've shown the 6" GM wheels on it already (painted white). I had bought these Accurides and tires for my '92 K3500 to get through the winter,so I painted them rallye wheel argent. I kinda like it,especially on an all white truck.

Here are pictures,skipping the aluminum wheels,through the years starting with the factory 6.5 x 16.5s:

OEM 16.5 x 8.25 wheels - my K20 was originally equipped with this size wheel

Looks great! Specs? 6 lug?

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Damn I hate it when I see the truck I really want on the thread! Someday I'll have a matching 4x4...

Nice truck, man!

Detroit steel wheels. 20x8 in front...20x9 rear.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Those look awesome, what's the tire specs?

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Keep us posted on this. I have been looking into them for my Burb. Only negative thing I have been told was how heavy they are. They looks great!:metal:

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Almost ready for the summmer, wheels are 17" from http://www.wheelvintiques.com/ -they are 6-lugs.
There is also an 1" spacer on the rear wheels.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Thanks. Nitto 420S, Front: 245/45/20 Rear: 285/50/20. I have a set of smooth moon caps, but I doubt I am going to put them on. Too nice for this old truck!

Thanks. I didn't weight them, but the rears were VERY heavy. To accommodate the weight, I put vented disc brakes on front, add a new booster and master, plumbed all new brakes lines in front and back, and have gone through the drums in the rear (new shoes/drums/cylinders, etc...).

This thing has the original 307 in it so I am not too concerned with shredding the tires with horsepower and am not too worried about weight. This old girl is for cruising, not racing (Got a 12s TBSS for that)

I can definitely see these wheels not being the best for certain builds. There are aluminum wheels that look like these, but they were 4x the price.
