Will these rims fit??

[bmrrwolfe]

I found a great sale at 4wd.com and was wondering if either of these rims would fit? im not sure as to what backspacing i need, im still new to the c10 life!
but i have a 1972 with front discs (im pretty sure i saw it was a 5x5)

Whether a wheel will fit depends on more than the wheel size and backspace - 5x5 is the correct bolt pattern for 71+ C10...is your truck dropped? What size tires will you run? Are you going to run the same size tire front and back?

For now just a 2" drop in the rear to level, may end up going with a 2-4 drop in the future, tire size has not yet been decided and i do plan on same size tires front and back.
I just wanted to double check bolt pattern, and get the backspacing i need, and be sure they will clear the brakes.
Thanks!

So they should fit right?
Also whats a 2-4" drop with 18s look like? any one got some pics?

I test fit the first set on my truck last saturday, they fit, should do alright with a 255/50r18, though if you have a sway bar it might hit at full lock.

Well now i gotta decide which ones like more.
I figured $300 total and free shipping to the store about 20 mins from me, i think i could easily sell them for that.

Well the truck is still in piece, but i decided with the chrome ones, and these should be a huge motivation to get it driving again!

All depends on the drop, if any. 1010tires.com has a nifty calculator that will tell you recommended rim width for a given tire size and all the dimensions of up to 4 tires + 1 control tire (say, stock size?).

Short answer is yeah, if you want a taller sidewall those should work. Just keep in mind the rims you ordered are 9in wide, don't want rim sticking out any farther than the tire

Any tire shop worth its salt will test fit one for you, especially if you have cash in hand to buy tires.
