67 p10 stepvan (c10 frame) wheel issue
 

So I have been trying to get new wheels for my 67 P10 stepvan and having some issues. Tried a newer set of chevy rims from a silverado - no good as lugs would not come out far enough for nuts.

Grabbed what I was told was some old chevy c10 rims. Put them on and again it seems that the lugs do not come through far enough to be safe. Especially compared to the wheels that are already on the stepvan.

What are my options here? Can I change the lugs to longer ones or are there wheels that would fit better? Looking for a good sized wheel if possible (17' or larger)

Here are some pics of the original chrome wheels fitting well and the new silver wheels which do not give much thread to bolt on nuts. Also a picture of drum.

some 6 lug steel wheels, 3 nub should do you just fine as thats stock. four nubbers are fine too but a little harder to find.

maybe i am dumb but i do not understand your reply. sorry.

Im just looking for my options either for new wheels or drums/lugs. I sure would like to go larger on wheels and from something newer as supply is plentiful. Can i do this somehow or am i stuck with older wheels.

changing studs is a fairly easy procedure ,just be sure they arent too long if you want to use acorn style nuts on them

Changing to longer studs is pretty straight forward. Pound the old one out, pound the new one in. I don't know that I would say it's 'easy' however. There is quite a bit of dis assembly required to get to the point of pounding. You might consider swapping to 5 lug and/or disc brakes if you're doing that much work at all 4 corners.

Those silver 'old C10' rims do not look old enough. they have huge backspacing also. Maybe 88-98 style?

Let's see some pix of the P10!
