Will these rims fit?
Hey people how's it going? I curently bought a 1982 short wide chevy pickup. It's dropped a little (probably -2.5" front and -4" back) with drop spindels and shackles. I was wondering if these wheels would fit on it or what I would have to do to make them fit.
http://americanracing.com/wheels/det...lloy§ion=A I would like to get the 20X8.5 if possible. Does anyone know if these will fit off the top of there head? Thanks for your time! Laterz! Last edited by Hazieview; 07-20-2007 at 01:36 AM. |

Re: Will these rims fit?
you need a 5x5 bolt pattern. To fit a fullsize truck if it's 5 lug and thoose don't have it listed. I'm not sure what the 115 is exactly maybe it's 5x5.
Do a search on the internet for fullsize chevy bolt pattern or 5x5 bolt pattern or metricconversion, I remember seeing the conversion to metric somewhere for it.

As benoit said, those wheels aren't listed with the correct bolt pattern. An option you have is to consider the TTII (CL205s). They come in the correct bolt pattern and custom offset. If you wanted them black, you'd could have them painted or powercoated.

Well just my opinion on this, but I don't like painted wheels. if you are gonna pay that kind of cash for them might as well get chrome aluminum ones. Aluminum not chrome needs polished which is tough if it gets bad. Chrome steel rusts, but chrome aluminum is the best of both worlds, no rust, no polishing. Just wax and forget it.

Re: Will these rims fit?
Well dang. Thanks for the info. I see what you are saying about the chrome/paint comparison but maybe yall can help me if I told you what I was looking for. I want a nice/desent set of rims but I'm not into a lot of chrome. I am going to paint my truck black and I would like the wheels to match. Those wheels just looked so good because they look classic, they are black, and that chrome lip is just enough to say "NICE" I'm not really going for pretty I'm more so going for mean and tough with just a little pop. I wanted to get 20s because It's just that little bit of "custom" I dont want big chrome 24s that spin with candy paint and all that crap ya know.
So where could I get some decent yet classic 20" wheels for a nice price. Shoot if I could find some old rusty 20s that need some black paint I'd dig on that. I absolutley love the chrome lip though to me that is what sets them off. What do yall think? Know where to find what I'm looking for or another route to go? Thanks for your time! Keep in mind tough not pretty. haha! Last edited by Hazieview; 07-20-2007 at 09:40 PM. |
