Will these rims fit??
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) http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...0&partID=43326 http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...0&partID=43340 Thanks! |

Re: Will these rims fit??
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?

I just wanted to double check bolt pattern, and get the backspacing i need, and be sure they will clear the brakes. Thanks! |

Re: Will these rims fit??
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.

Re: Will these rims fit??
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. Last edited by bmrrwolfe; 04-07-2009 at 09:38 PM. |

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!

Re: Will these rims fit??
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. |
