K30 Wheels

I located a C20 with original wheels and hubcaps. Before I buy them, I'm wondering if they will fit k30 (cucv) axles. Both are 8 lug but, is there a backspacing or clearance issue otherwise?
Thanks, Mike

The wheels will fit, but the front hubcaps wont work. The 4wd has hubs.

Re: K30 Wheels

Thanks. I was hesitant because I saw a post selling 1 ton wheels that were 16.5 inch. I currently have 16 aftermarket wheels. I didn't know if that 1/2 difference makes a difference. Copy on the front hubcaps. I'll just need to find the open ones. Thanks

Re: K30 Wheels

the difference will be in the 16 and 16.5 tires dont mix/match rims .

otherwise yes 16" rims from gm fit the dana 60 k30 1ton axles.

and be prepared to spend a few bucks for the harder to find k30 dana 60 front caps .

but always good to ask before purchase

Might want to keep an eye out for factory 16 inch. 16.5 tires can be a pain to find and are getting more expensive.

Bingo, a lot of tire manufacturers do not support the 16.5 much anymore
