Re: another rim question
Why would you need spacers?

Re: another rim question
I think the issue you will have is there is not alot of reasonably priced modern wheels that will fit the 67-70 trucks without some issues. Some need spacers front and rear and some need them just in the rear to make the offset correct.
The other option is to go with a custom wheel......Intro,Billet Specialties,Budnik,raceline,etc.. Problem is there all pretty pricey and can easily go for $1000+ a wheel. I have yet to find a set of 20" wheels (8.5 front 10" rear) that work and are cost effective. I just can't justify putting $5000 worth of custom wheels and tires on a $6500 truck

Re: another rim question
if the aftermarket rims were made to fit the 99 and up chevy trucks then the hubs will not clear our trucks, I dont know of any kind of spacer to fix this problem.
