Will these Wheels fit? 97 Z71 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was wondering if 16" aluminum wheels from a 1997 Chevy Z-71 will fit a 5 lug 1971 Chevy truck?

I think that the wheels from the 97-Z71 are 6-lug.

Backspacing is wrong anyway, they'll sit too deep in the wheel well and rub, unless you use spacers - I wouldn't.

the z-71 wheels are 6 lug. there is a 71/72 running around town with later model aluminum wheels. they are around mid to late 90`s 2wd truck wheels. don`t know if he has spacers but they look like they fit fine.

Mainthing to check on the 88 and up rims is the center hole. On many of the aluminum wheels the center hole is too small for our trucks, 5 or 6 lug. Don't know why, but it seems the steel wheels will work. I' tried the 15x8 SS Chrome wheels from my GMC on a guys 71 and they work fine. The backspacing is more than the ralley style truck wheels though. I don't remember the backspace measurements of my SS wheels though.
