Re: Six lug 15x8 4 nub?

Well, I, for one, NEED white steelies
A point that came up in a parallel thread that I'd like to get some clarification/confirmation on (I think there are about 3-4 white steelie threads going right now...). As I think most know by now that 71 and newer K5/10 wheels clear disks and pre-71 do not - I'd like to know if that is also exactly the dividing line between 3 nub and 4 nub, respectively. i.e. can you visually ID a pre-71 by the presence of 3 nubs vs 4. OR... was the 3-4 nub transition just somewhere "near" the 70-71 changeover from drum to disk? Is there such a thing as a 4-nub non-disk wheel or a 3-nub disk wheel? I think I know that part of the answer, but the question seems to come up time and again. The bottom line is to look at the inside face of the wheel and see of there is a big taper that could/would interfere with the caliper - but wanted to pull the thread on the nub dealio. Have heard this discussed both ways, usually folks lean toward the 3-4 nub - nondisk-disk. Thanks!
