Need new rims for 71C20..please help
I've searched through 10+ pages using the search function with no luck.
I want to replace my stock wheels/hubcaps on my truck with some inexpensive rims. Something along the lines of these: I tried looking for specs all over the web, to no avail. Summit Racing only starts their listings at 1973. I want to get a set of 16 x 8 (8 lug obviously). I will be running my existing tires (245/75 -16) as they are still very good. Can anyone help out with correct back spacing specs for a 16" x 8" rim on a 71 C20? Since I will likely be mail ordering these, I don't want to make a mistake...... As you can see...the truck needs help in the wheel department: Thanks!

Re: Need new rims for 71C20..please help
Hey there you should try looking at the American raceing site. They sell what is called a 186 or 058 Aluminum polished wheel for a good price. At my store in Canada they go for $115 a wheel.. Dont know what your pricing would be but ckeck them out or go to your nearest tire and rim dealer and check out their pricing.. I work for FraserValleyTireland and we sell quite of few of these due to the price... As for your backspacing with a 8" rim you will probably want about 3-3/4 to 4 inch back spacing and your rims and tires will fit no Problem.. If your not sure you can always measure you stock rims and go from there... Hope I could help

Year doesn`t matter.The standard backspacing all these custom wheels come with is appropriate for your truck.Those`73-up wheels will fit on a`48 or any 8-lugger,except the squirrely late-model metric FlOoReD.
