Re: New Member-72 C20 Cheyenne
Beautiful truck. My son has a 86 c20. Here are the pains of the 8 lug. This truck came with 16" stock steel with caps. Looked great, tires wore out. My kid got a great deal on some later model aluminum wheels with caps, still needed tires, oh and how about a set of lug nuts with the right seat for the wheels? Oh yeah, want to run the caps with the screw on nuts? You get the idea, cheap wheels required new lugs and some gently used (not new, im not loaded) tires. It looked great too with the polished rims and caps.
16.5 are out of my discussion because of cost and availability. If they were not, I would suggest 16.5 x 9.75 steel wheels (camper specials I think) with stock caps. That is such a good, classic look. Anything beyond that is up to your budget. A good set of 16" or 17" rims and tires are determined by your budget. If you buy take offs from a later model truck, plan on getting a set of bolt-on spacers because the offset puts the wheels in pretty far, and in some cases, causing contact with the body and suspension in full lock. And the wheels can be so thick, that the factory studs give you only a few threads to screw on... 98 and earlier ford wheels fit (i think as they went to some dumb 107 lug pattern or something after that) as well as almost all dodge. Good luck.
