Need new rims for 71C20..please help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tim240Z · 03-04-2006, 02:01 AM

I've searched through 10+ pages using the search function with no luck.
I want to replace my stock wheels/hubcaps on my truck with some inexpensive rims. Something along the lines of these:

I tried looking for specs all over the web, to no avail. Summit Racing only starts their listings at 1973.
I want to get a set of 16 x 8 (8 lug obviously). I will be running my existing tires (245/75 -16) as they are still very good.

Can anyone help out with correct back spacing specs for a 16" x 8" rim on a 71 C20? Since I will likely be mail ordering these, I don't want to make a mistake......

As you can see...the truck needs help in the wheel department:

Thanks!
