Does anyone know if my 2006 Chevy Silverado W/T 6 lug 17" wheels will fit on my 6 lug 1970 Chevy 1/2 ton w/ (15" wheels)? I haven't gotten out in my ccccold garage to try it yet...thought one of you guys might know before I go through the trouble...Thanks, Bob

Bolt pattern should be the same but the generally the centre hole in the wheel is too small to fit on the older trucks. Some people have had the centres made larger at a machine shop.

Also the offset is different. The newer trucks have a wider front stance and therefore when you use the newer wheels they are tucked into the wheel well.
