1970 C-20 stock rims with dog dish hub caps? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Tripmiester** · 06-27-2019, 05:31 PM

I Am trying to put a stock rim on my 1970 C-20 8 lug with the dog dish hub caps
Are there different sizes? Going for a wide look, not sure the diameter that came on the truck. 15” 16” 16.5
Any information would be appreciated!

Stock was a 16.5. I'm running F#@* 16x7 and I think they look good.

**DA71Grande** · 06-27-2019, 09:31 PM

I have Coker 16x8 and 16x10 on my c20 unfortunately it’s hard to see

**71blksuper4x4** · 06-27-2019, 11:44 PM

US Wheels 16x10, nice deep look.

I agree they look good. The mid 90's to mid 2000 Ford Econoline 16x7 seem to have the closest resemblance to the original 16.5 wheels and accept the period C 20 hubcap. They should be an easy find at your nearest pick and pull where you wont have to worry about shipping charges.

15" was 1/2 ton only.
Med Olive truck: 16.5x6.75-ish w/9.50 x16.5 tires (stock)
16.5 also came in 8.25 and 9.75 widths (I think..)
White truck: 16x6.5-ish with 275/65/16 tires (these were, generally speaking, square body era wheels)
Another stock option on some of these C/K20s were the 16" locking ring rims

**Tripmiester** · 06-28-2019, 10:13 AM

So the ones you guys have in your trucks are aftermarket?
Coker and Us Steel?
Do you know who sells them?

**DA71Grande** · 06-28-2019, 03:08 PM

Coker
https://www.cokertire.com/wheels/ste...el-primed.html
Or
Wheel vintiques
https://www.wheelvintiques.com/

There was someone selling some oem 16.5x9.75 in the part ads

Summit sold me my US Wheels. They also carry the Wheel Vintiques, but they are always on a long back order. Jegs also carries both brands.

72c20customcamper · 06-29-2019, 12:38 PM

Mine aren't on the truck yet as I just painted them . Ford f250 16 x 7 reasonable too I paid 69$ each with free shipping from Road ready wheels.

The price has gone up no doubt from the terrifs on China.

Can't seem to get the link to work

**Tripmiester** · 06-29-2019, 07:45 PM

Thanks for all the great input!
There are only 2 bumps on the rim to hold the hub cap on?

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-29-2019, 08:12 PM

My f#@d wheels have four. Mine where marked 97 econoline. $50 apiece, I wanted wheel vintque 10" but they were 6 months backorder with no guarantee that they would be ready at 6 months. So since they're having problems filling orders. I figured another way and I'm glad they were flaky cause I like my plan B. My belief is if you're gonna advertise have a plan to fill the orders........
