6 lug Dodge rims on a c10?

[waspp]

Looking through the local CL I came across a set of "chevy rally wheels" only the pic clearly showed a set of dodge steel rims with beauty rings and dog dish hubcaps off a 4x4 truck. After a call the guy ran them on his early 80's blazer and thought they were chevy rims. So would these work on earlier chevy c10's with 6 lug wheels? And would they be another option for steel wheels with the nubs for dog dish hubcaps? If I get a chance I will go over and take a look and measure the back space and center hole but just wondered if anyone has used wheels like these or not.

hell if the back spacing and bolt pattern matches, why not. it will be a source for use purest that cant find oem and at a good price. there may be more around cuz folks arent into em as chevy lovers and being newer the scrap yards may still have a bunch. ps just dont tell the dodge boys cuz they will jacked the price and be pissed cuz it looks better on a chevy anyway. awesome find!!!

Wrong pattern. Not even close on backspace. I believe the Durango had 6x116mm or 6x4.5"

It could be these are gm rims with dodge hubcaps but at least some dodge bolt patterns would work and offset varies also with model.

I found a chart from 86-93 D-50 trucks have same pattern. The Dakota /Durango. Were 114.3mm. I had a 4" back space to fit 35/12.5/15 .

Those look like K5 blazer wheels.

Back in high school auto shop in the 60’s, we were warned about using Ford wheels on a Mopar, or Mopar wheels on a Ford. They both shared the same 4.5” bolt pattern, but the lug nut interference angle on the wheels were different. Using the wrong combination of wheels/lug nuts caused them to come loose in service. Just something to consider.

Ok mystery solved for these wheels anyway. I went over to take a look and the rims are stamped GM, they are 8" wide with a 4" back space and have 2 large nubs and 2 small nubs for hubcap retention They came off a 79 chevy 4x4 service truck with a utility body so the hub caps are aftermarket or maybe dodge caps someone stuck on there. Anyway I made a deal and they now sit in my garage!

Nice buy and great job on solving the mystery! As I was reading through the thread the rims were getting farther and farther over my head. lol! Nice purchases!
