Re: 6lug rim ?
center hole is too small. you can hog it out, but then the back spacing is way off. Get some off a 2 wheel drive, and they'll only look 1/2 stupid. (back spacing is closer to being right)

In other words, they can be made to "work", but they will not fit.

Re: 6lug rim ?
They work (and look) great going that way Zumo. I used the newer style center caps on mine.
72 cheyenne 402....same thing...the newer wheels have too small a center hole and way too much backspacing.

Re: 6lug rim ?
It sounds like the late model Toyota 6 lug rims are a better fit than Chevy's are for our older 67-70 trucks.

Re: 6 lug rim ?
I guess a better question might be, what are the best fitting wheels for the 67-70 trucks to fit over aftermarket disc brakes?

Re: 6 lug rim ?
i believe that if you have disc brakes front and rear then any 6 lug wheel off todays full size truck or tahoe/suburban will work just fine
if you have disc front and drum rear like me then u will need to get wheels with the bigger center because the small center wont fit over the axle/drum in the rear i just did this with mine and they fit fine if u have one of those places that sells all kinds of wheels take yer truck there and try a few different wheels watch the width of the rear wheel so it does not hit the inside of the wheel well i have 2 inch drop spindles and springs in the front and rear is stock height and i have in the front 275/45-20s with a few inches clearance and in the rear 285/50-20s with a spacer because the drivers side rubbed the inside of the wheel well a very little ( i never checked b/s and offset before i bought make sure u do ) |
