6 lug wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Youey · 11-18-2018, 03:32 PM

I’m looking for some advice on some 6 lugs wheels that are a timeless look. Found some rally’s in 18”, which I think will look pretty good, but wanted to see what everyone was running on. My truck is lowered 3-5 and it’s time to add a little more to it. Thanks for the input. I’ll post a picture of truck in a little bit

I have reverse chrome wheels, but want to change back to stock rims with hub caps or 15" Rallye Wheels.

2.5/4 drop on 15x8 rallies.

**Canuckvetter** · 11-18-2018, 06:36 PM

Stock ride height 15x8 on the back 15x6 up front

There just aren't many options for 6 lug wheels. Anything newer has too small a hub pilot hole.

Best thing you can do IMO (and what I did) is swap to 5 lug. I did the ECE 5 lug disc conversion which is $100 cheaper than the 6 lug then used the savings to go towards a 5 lug rear axle which I found for $150.

Then you have real options when it comes to wheels.

these factory wheels fit good.i think these are later 70's model k wheels.

Youey · 11-18-2018, 11:37 PM

Thanks for all the reply’s, right now the truck sits on rally’s with baby moons. Want to go try and go with a bigger size rally like a 18- or 20 but not sure

I'm fond of the car style rallye wheels with trim rings and caps..

CG · 11-19-2018, 11:23 AM

Nothing more timeless than an 18 inch wheel, LOL!

Just yanking your chain =) I like your truck as it is right now. Its such a good start I'm sure whatever you decide its going to look great.

Yea yea yea, I guess what I should have said classic style but larger in diameter vision makes a 6 lug rally with car center caps I like just was seeing what everyone runs

I just put these wheels on my 70 step. Only I used the flat center caps.

That looks great! What size tires? Small drop?

Sparky dave · 11-19-2018, 08:02 PM

Do you have any Japanese 4x4 s or pickups where you are? 6 lug wheels are same fitment. They are plentiful in the uk

We do. I’m just looking for that particular look. I think I found a truck on Instagram that has them in 20s not really sure if I like them or not. I’d like to see the 18s comparison.

1968aj · 11-19-2018, 09:12 PM

these are 18 rev wheels

Really like the look of this! Lucky for me I’m going to be getting the 18” for Christmas now so all I have to do is find some decent tires. Are you running a 3-5 drop or 4-6

FRCvette · 11-26-2018, 02:34 PM

3 1/2 and 4 inch drop

Old school 15X8" Steel Deep Dish on all 4 corners.
