My solution to Wheel Vintiques Series 62’s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I guess what I was thinking is it would have made more sense for Wheel Vintiques to have replicated the same dimensions as GM factory wheels, since that is what the 5 on 5s were made for, primarily. Or at least use the same backspacing. I don't know the manufacturing process, but I was assuming the centers for each lug pattern has it's own tooling. I have no experience with these wheels to date, but IIRC, people have had issues with too much backspace 71/72s. Like I said, no experience myself and maybe I'm wrong about 71/72s. I'll say it's great to know the proper remedy either way
