1971 C30 wheel help

I have a 1971 Chevy C30. Currently in has 16.5" wheels. I'm wanting to move up to 17" wheels. Can someone tell me the bolt pattern, center diameter and lug size.

Re: 1971 C30 wheel help

16’s are easy since you can get a set from a dually from ‘73-2010. I don’t think there are any OEM 17’s that are the 8 x 6.5” bolt pattern. And I want to say the lugs are 5/8”? I don’t remember exactly, but the ones from Alcoa for my square body dually rims were stupid expensive at $5 apiece. I don’t remember the pilot diameter even though I had a set of dually spacers made that are hub-centric.

The lug size should be 9/16” and the newer chevy dialysis wheels are 17” but the bolt pattern is metric and won’t fit on the older 8 on 6 1/2” bolt pattern
