3 or 4 nub wheels
I am trying to find some 15x8 OEM steel wheels for my 72 K5. Did they come with 3 or 4 nubs, whats the difference and does it matter. I am wanting to use the dog dish hub caps, thanks.

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
The 15x8 are tough to find and usually pretty pricey when you do.
Im not an expert, but I did some research on steelies. I have 15x6 4 nub steelies. I believe the 3 nubs will not clear disk brake calipers and the 4 nubs will clear the disk brakes. I have front disk brakes on my 71. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to spread misinformation. |

Re: 3 or 4 nub wheels
Grillzy, I hope some one will clear this up about 4 nub and 3 nub. I had always heard that 3 nub would only fit over drum brakes but in the last few days I have had several board members to tell me that there 71s and 72s (that came with disk brakes) came with 3 nub wheels instead of 4 nub wheels. Go figure!
