Wheels for a lowered 65?
 

Hi,
I have a chance at picking up some wheels for my 65 c10.
I have a 6 lug 5-1/2 bolt pattern disk brakes in front. I will be doing a 2-1/2" drop spindle drop in front with a 1" drop coil. The rims are 15x8. Will those work okay with that drop? Need help quick as the guy is moving on them fast!!! Please!! Thanks guys!

Pretty sure they will. I'm in process of putting wheels on my 65 and tried a 15x8 and it was fine. I've since changed it to a 15x7 just because I went from 15x10 on the rear ( they were too wide ) to 15x8 with a slightly wider tire so, I wanted a little smaller tire in the front. You could probably sell them if they don't fit. Good luck!

Also what tires are you gonna run on those? White walls? Numbers on tire? I gotta order those next. Was gonna do a thinner white wall but don't know what would look good size wise on those rims. Thanks

Yes, I have front disc brakes. Tires were 255/60 x 15. Using a 295/50 x 15 on the back with 8" wheel.

Re: Wheels for a lowered 65?

If it ends up not working, you can probably sell them and make a little money. I think they will work.

Re: Wheels for a lowered 65?
 

Thanks for all the help you guys!! They worked great today, we shall see when I lower it! It looks like it won't be a problem
Tho! Thanks again. I think I did pretty good $300 for the the whole lot of 4 wheels-powder coated- beauty rings- center caps!!

Okay guys, another question.
I do like the center caps that came with the truck, however, my idea for te wheels was to have a push thru bullet center cap. Well, turns out the diameter of these rim's center hole is just under 4-1/4"!!! The outside diameter of those center bullets that I have seen are 3-1/8". Any suggestions? Are there wider ones out there? Should I just be happy with these caps and call it good? Thanks

Looks great and good deal.. Cant wait to see them on the truck!

Re: Wheels for a lowered 65?
 

Alright guys I was gonna put those rims I bought on my truck. I would like to run white walls. The thinner white walls are cheaper so I think ill stick with those. But what size tire would look good with those 15 x 8 and the drop I'm putting on there? And recommendations on brand/size? This was the look i wanted.
Thanks

Re: Wheels for a lowered 65?
 

So I am finally picking up tires tomorrow! I had planned on putting in a 2-1/2" drop spindle and 1" coil drop in front with 4" drop coils in back (didn't wanna c notch so that's as low as they told I could go in back without one) I have seen a bunch of pics of guys with different drop configurations and even with the same drop some trucks look so different than others?!? I am looking to get it lower but have it sit level. They guy at cpp told me to just do the drop spindles in front and the coils in back because otherwise I would end up with a slight rake. Any opinions? Pics? Ur drop configuration and pic? Doesn't seem like anyone I know locally can tell me what to with enough confidence that they know what they're talking about to convince me. I would hate to rip the whole thing apart, put it back together, then not like it and have to do it again! Thanks ahead of time!

Re: Wheels for a lowered 65?
