3 or 4 nub wheels
 

I am trying to find some 15x8 OEM steel wheels for my 72 K5. Did they come with 3 or 4 nubs, whats the difference and does it matter. I am wanting to use the dog dish hub caps, thanks.

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

The 15x8 are tough to find and usually pretty pricey when you do.

Im not an expert, but I did some research on steelies. I have 15x6 4 nub steelies. I believe the 3 nubs will not clear disk brake calipers and the 4 nubs will clear the disk brakes. I have front disk brakes on my 71. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to spread misinformation.

I have the originals from my 72 Jimmy and they are 4 nub

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

still have the original spare on one of them, mine has front discs to.

My 15x6 steelies with 31x10.50 15 BFG AT KOs and dog dishes. Love the way my K5 looks with this combo.

Thanks guys, I was thinking that I had to have 4 nub instead of 3 nub!

I have a set of 4 nub disk brake 15x8 if you decide you want them , let me know

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

That looks great Senorx. If any one has a set of 15x8 4 nub that they can part with, please let me know!

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

Wow. I might be interested in those 15x8s if Drillrod passes. I have a feeling he won't. Lol.

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels

I sent you a PM, thanks.

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

My original ones to my '71 are 3 nub

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

I cam across a set of these. 15 x 5.5 3 nub. Any idea on what year these are from and will they fit 72 jimmy? Stampings on the rim are " Canada 12 DO 22 G K2 9 Keisey 5 x 5 1/2 K

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

Grillzy, I hope some one will clear this up about 4 nub and 3 nub. I had always heard that 3 nub would only fit over drum brakes but in the last few days I have had several board members to tell me that there 71s and 72s (that came with disk brakes) came with 3 nub wheels instead of 4 nub wheels. Go figure!

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

Looking at my spid I need a 6" wide rim.

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

This is absolutely correct. When disc brakes came out, on cars and trucks, the wheels were changed to 4-nub.

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
 

Don't want to hijack this thread, but I received a couple of PMs inquiring about tire side wall bulge with the 15x6 Steelies and 31x10.50s. Not much tire bulge at all. Please let me know if y'all need pics of another angle. Love this combo!
