Looking for some steelies... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think it's time I look into some new wheels for my truck. I love the stock steelie w/ hubcap look. Does anybody know where I can find a set, either reproduction or stock? I'm thinking 15x7, and if so, will that allow me to fit a 30 9.5x15 BFG tire on it?

WheelVintiques,Stockton or any of the aftermarket places should be able to hook you up.

A couple of Tire calcs that may help with the sizing ?

7 in steelies are the stock size for the trucks of this era.The original ones don't clear disc brakes.The Rallies will clear the disc(I think they are 73-86 4x4 6 lug and 8in wide) and might hold full size caps,though I have never tried it,they do hold a trim ring which should be the same thing.
