oldblue1968chevy · 08-22-2010, 06:07 PM

what it look like i had the chance to get a decent set of 4 from a 67 lol

67ChevyRedneck · 08-22-2010, 06:30 PM

Don't you need the old style (original) steel rims for those to work?

67chevy1series · 08-22-2010, 07:46 PM

well old blue they look like this

Slick67 · 08-22-2010, 07:46 PM

I think you have to have the old style steel wheels. The lip is a little different. But those should work on van rims........hmmm.

67chevy1series · 08-22-2010, 08:11 PM

i know thats what im sayin my dad bought this 87 chevy boveville van and its 5 lug disc brake of coruse so it should be exactly the same and if it doesnt work should i get 72 n 71 5 lug rims and use those cause the van rims are just rollers

71 super · 08-22-2010, 09:19 PM

They will work fine with the rally wheels, they do not need the old style to work. I have two sets on rallies with no problems at all.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-22-2010, 09:42 PM

never mind i didnt find a set but I think i picked one of those up in the weeds, it was missing 2 of the ''lug nuts' i put it back..other than that, good shape

67chevy1series · 08-23-2010, 01:04 AM

If you come to the C/10 party on 10/2/10 I will give you one. But, you have to come in person.

That's funny. Rene didn't we try to bribe a member to come last year with the same hub cap?

71 super · 08-24-2010, 06:41 PM

What is not fitting? Does it seem like its a little too big? If so it is right, it requires a interference fit in order to hold its self in place. Put one side on, preferably the side with the hole for the valve stem and "bump" the corresponding opposite side into place with a rubber mallet or the side of your hand. They are hard to get into place so that they will be hard to get off, if they were not there would be many more lying along the roadside.
