71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

Does anyone know the options available from the factory in 71 for the wheels on a k5 4x4?

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

My understanding is
15x6
15x8
16x5
From easiest to hardest to find available on the resale market.

there is one more option 16.5x8.25, jeff has all the others listed

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

I don't think 15x8 were a factory option. They were available aftermarket (Kelsey-Hayes was a popular brand) and they continue to be a popular wheel choice today.

Edit: with 2 votes against me it's very possible that I am wrong. Others will chime in too. My wife constantly reminds me what being wrong feels like so it won't hurt my feelings to be wrong here.

71swb4x4, I believe what you are saying is correct , didn't even dong on me , as we all are using them , here is a factory listing sheet below

Thanks guys for the corrected info. Wealth of knowledge on this forum.
That screenshot is very helpful. I should have remembered you providing that in the past

Thanks guys for the great info.
I guess my next Q would be did they all come with the big dog dish hubcaps?

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

yes the dog dish hubcap was usually the standard , and the full wheel cover was on the cst and optioned trucks , the 16.5 wheel didn't come with either

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

So I'm on the hunt for the 15x6 or 16x5 wheels and dog dish caps. Thanks everyone!

My k5 came with the 15x8's and now I have those on my suburban. And my suburban came with 15x6's

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

Dont mean to hijack the thread but I've been wondering what my 71 came with originally. The SPID lists 1P03AE CHROME HUB CAPS. Would this have been the full wheel cover?

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

JackB the 2nd 3rd and 4th digits are all that matter. The P03 caps are chrome dog dish caps.

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

My SPID lists P01. I'm guessing those were the full hub caps?

Re: 71 k5 4x4 original wheels
 

that is correct.
