8 lug slots - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fun in dirt · 01-05-2009, 05:55 PM

Is there such thing as the old style aluminum slot wheels in 8 lug? I've seen them in 6 lug every now & then but never 8, so just wondering.

JAKES 68GMC · 01-05-2009, 06:06 PM

Yeah they did make them at one point...very hard to find now though, at least around here.

68K20 x Drill · 01-05-2009, 06:08 PM

I got these off craigslist a little while back, still working on getting the road oil off em.
On the back it says CARROL SHELBY CAL500

Now if I only had a set of the flat washer lug nuts...

**special-K** · 01-05-2009, 07:12 PM

I think these look best in 8-lug.These mag-style lugs are available at any parts store.

JAKES 68GMC · 01-05-2009, 07:54 PM

Yeah, they're called Duplex mag lug nuts. They come in either 1/2" or 9/16". They're the ones with the sleeve on them, not the long acorns.

OldCreek · 01-06-2009, 03:48 AM

yeah, got my 9/16 lugs through summit.

eric67m · 01-06-2009, 08:20 AM

Hopefully the board member stillokin (I dont think I spelled that correctly) will see this. He has a set on his longhorn and knows alot about the sizings that were available. I believe he got his from craigslist also.

*LILRED66* · 01-06-2009, 09:20 AM

Like these? I have a set of four 16.5 x 8 with 9.50R16.5LT Sentry LT tires with 1/4" tread on them. Here is a link:

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/982099930.html

Good price...take a look.

fun in dirt · 01-06-2009, 11:23 AM

Yeap, that's them! But I'm needing some that are at least 10" wide.

**special-K** · 01-06-2009, 05:52 PM

They came in 9.75 wide.I ran 14.50s on them.If you were asking about newly made,the 15" diameter Ansen Sprints are re-made.But,they weren`t wise enough to do the 16s for 8-lug trucks.

fun in dirt · 01-06-2009, 06:26 PM

I found these in the Summit catalog & they come in 8 lug 16x10. I thought they looked pretty close to the slots in the catalog pic, but then the pic online doesn't look the same http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku . What do y'all think about them?

og350 · 01-07-2009, 12:38 AM

i have a set of 16.5s that have 35/12.5s on them just fine but not sure how wide the rims are. if you lived closer i would sell them to ya i want a set of the dick cepek dc1's in black and silver.

They should be 9.75"s wide.

A 10" rim fits a 12.5" tire really well.
(good combo IMO)

I'm interested if you wouldn't mind shipping - PM sent.

mitch1965 · 01-07-2009, 11:26 PM

I actually was fortunate enough to have someone offer me that trade last fall. He had a new set of DC1-B, with cheap 265 tires, that he traded to me for my slot mags. I really liked the slots, but they were 16.5" and I really do not want that wide of a tire.

The 16.5" is the rim diameter, not the tire width.

**special-K** · 01-07-2009, 05:48 AM

^Man,I could go for that if the original poster doesn`t.I guess it`s a wheel/tire package since these are 16.5.

va_tlc · 01-08-2009, 03:43 PM

man, i always forget that web site that still makes those wheels , it starts with an A , im sure someone on here will direct ya to them, there exxpensive too.im thinking you can get all sizes 16.5 or 16. and these wheels are polished.

BIG HEAD · 01-08-2009, 05:18 PM

i have a set of jelly bean wheels that are 16.5 x 10. they say carroll shelby on the inside lip. i got them on a 71' gmc c/20. i had this traveling polisher come by my shop. he pollished two of them up to a mirror finish. he asked me to pay him, and he disapeared never to return. that is what i got for paying before the job was finished.

I wish American Racing would just come out with 17" 8 lug Ansen sprints. It's one of the reasons I haven't stepped up to a FF rear and 8 lug conversion on my front diff. If I do I'm thinkin of running some oem steel 17" 8 lugs from a Dodge. I hate bling, and almost had my AE slotts sand blased when I got them because they only come in polished. I have a ratty old set of flea bay western slotts on my bike trailer though.

**Joesjunk** · 01-13-2009, 11:02 PM

I have a set of those Mickey Thompson "Challengers" on my Duramax. Just about as close to a "new" slot as you can get!!! I really like the old slots, I have a polished set of 8 lug 16.5x8.25 I put on my yellow 72 just to see what they looked like, but think Ill use them later on a 4x4. I also have slots on my 71 1/2t 4x4

Those look great. Slots are my favorites on 4x4's right after white steel wheels with small caps.

phoenix37 · 01-15-2009, 11:31 AM

Im a big fan of these myself. I bought another set off ebay for 150 bucks to run my street tires on.
