Rim Question

[smorg007]

Will the rims off of a 1974 chevy 1/2 ton c-10 5 lug pattern fit on a 1972 chevy c-10

but of course, are looking into getting some ralleys?

No, I have 15" Rallies painted to match truck on my 72 now, I found a set of nice chrome 17" rims on craigslist that are on a 1974 chevy.

they should fit right on, if theyre a larger width rim, like a 17x10, see how well they clear the fender wells and brake and steer components, if you see any rubbing going on, you might want to reconcider, otherwise I say if youlike the rims go for it. take your truck to the rim owners place with a jack and try a front one on first though

Thanks for the response and suggestions. He is currently running a 235 50 17 tire and I have 245 60 15's on my truck. I went to this site another member had listed as a good reference and the tires work out to be very close in overall size.

that is pretty close in height. just double check for width clearance. it should be ok. Of course we`ll need pics of your truck
