MB motoring "Old School" Wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*vegaschevy* · 08-17-2009, 04:23 PM

ANyone purchased these wheels? DO they actually bolt up well on the flanges etc?

I was looking at these as they are available through discount tire direct. I did just find out they are a 5" backspace wheel and only available in 8.5" width though.

What does everyone think? I am going to run a 295 width tire so they will not work for me but they may work for someone.

Looks like a Coys C-55 wheels.

Even the center cap looks the same.

They look very similar to the Coy's , but a lot less money. I'll bought a set of 18 & 20's. All though they don't make a 20X10, bummer. I'm going to run a 275/45/20 in the rear. There is no fitment problems with hub or dust cap. To get a better price I ordered them through a Discount Tire store, they were about $20 dollars cheaper than online.

I have sent this info to my guy that works at the corporate Discount tire office to see what kind of response I get.
