WTB 15x8 6lug stock wheels
 
Getting ready to send my wheels off to be powder coated, and thought I would make a last attempt to track down a pair of 15x8 6 lugs stock wheels.
I have all the parts on the way to do my drop and disk swap on my 70.

I thought I had a pair 3 times here locally over the last few weeks and non panned out.

If you have a pair you would like to sell, let me know.

Are you looking for the newer 71-87 4-nub style or original 3-nub steelies? Both will take a 10-1/8" hub cap. I have 4 of the older 3-nub style wheels from my 70 K10. You can check my pics.

that's a good question, I had been thinking that I wanted the 4 nub as I know they will clear disks, but sense I will only be running them on the back, I guess the 3 nub wheels would work.
let me know if you will split them up and how much you want...

Not sure if you know too that the back spacing is different. The 15X8 3-nub wheels have a nominal 3" backspace (actually like 2-3/4"). I believe the 6-lug 4-nub have 4" nominal backspace. I know my 73-87 rallies have 4" (actual 3-3/4") backspace.

Also, the 4 nub wheels work with disk brakes while the 3 nub will not.

I think I will have to pass on the early wheels, I am afraid that with lowering the truck and the reduced backspace, it may be a little tight on the fender well.

No problem at all. I have no problem in hanging on to them.
