GA WTB kelsey hayes 16.5 x 9.75 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Drewbee · 12-31-2018, 02:22 PM

Hey,

I know it's a long shot but I am looking for a single kelsey hayes 16.5 x 9.75 rim that would have came with our trucks and can hold the 3/4 ton hub caps.

Thanks!

How about 4 slots in that size instead? You could use one of your steelies as a spare? (do you have a C or K?)

Thanks but I’m going to pass on those. I just need the correct Kelsey Hayes rim. I’m wanting to see about getting a custom 17-18” rim made like the factory to use the factory hubcaps and able to use bigger tires.

**too much stuff** · 12-31-2018, 04:13 PM

I have a set of 4 that have the spring clips for hub caps. Not sure which style you are needing?

let me look , but we just got 5 inchs of great white , it might take a day to filter thru

Drewbee · 12-31-2018, 08:59 PM

Too much IÂ’m not 100% but I believe itÂ’s the ones with the nuns not the clips. If someone could chime in thatÂ’s be great.

Yes you would want a nub type for the proper hubcap

**1968k20** · 12-31-2018, 09:59 PM

Seems like bonestock72 had one for sale

**71blksuper4x4** · 12-31-2018, 11:30 PM

Drew for what it is worth, the centers were also used on the factory 16” split rims.

Drewbee · 01-01-2019, 12:09 AM

Thanks Trevor. That gives me another avenue if I cant find the 16.5x9.75

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-01-2019, 01:20 AM

Are you wanting the backspace of one, or a center, or what exactly. Obviously they will need rehooped to make 17’s

Drewbee · 01-01-2019, 10:12 AM

To be honest I’m not sure. I’m still in the collecting parts phase of my build and fairly new to some things, especially wheels. I figured I’d buy one talk with someone who could make a custom wheel and tell them here’s the width, I just need it to be 17” and to still have the nubs to accept the original hubcap. I have the hubcap I just need the wheel and go from there. I tend to just dive into things.

Drewbee · 01-01-2019, 03:12 PM

Missed some posts.

Thanks Undertaker, if you find one let me know.

I think bonestock is a 16x8? I’ll look some more.

Drewbee · 01-01-2019, 10:47 PM

By the way anyone know what the correct backspacing for these rims should be?

That’s where they vary....I have some that are really deep and some not as deep.

Drewbee · 01-01-2019, 11:15 PM

Yeah the link above shows 3 pairs for sale...ranging from 4.75, 5.5, and 6” backspacing.

Drewbee · 01-01-2019, 11:17 PM

I wouldn’t be against a deeper backspacing but afraid it’d rub at that point.
