Wheels for a 61 Apache

[64tantruck]

As most of you know, we just scored a 61 apache. I know we have a ton of questions.
Found some wheels on CL
http://syracuse.craigslist.org/pts/3388374786.html
The guy said they are 9 icnches wide. My newer tires off my 64 will be mounted on these. Will these fit? Are they too wide? Price seems fair. My 64 is 8 lug, her 61 is 6 lug. We will have to flip flop some tires, as I have some wide white walls I am puting on the 64.

Thanks,
Glenn

Ive seen 15x10's on the rear fine. Depending on how wide your front tires are, you may get some rubbing. Im running 15x8 on the front w/235/75R15 and have very little room to play with when locked all the way left or right.

We've experienced interference with anything over 8" wide. Even some 8-inchers rub under rear, esp. if it has been lowered any. Fleetsides are a tad more forgiving, widthwise, than stepsides. It's a noticeable problem in lots of pics shown on internet that show shorter/narrower tires on rear as compared to front. Even using later year pickup/van rally's, lots of pics show trucks with 7" rallys on rear vs. 8" on front--these wheels came in several widths in the 5-lug design anywhere from approx. 6.5", 7", & 8"--deeper dish on 8", & they look weird with the mismatch. Rubbing that we found was on pickups that had 5-lug patterns drilled into original 6-lug axles--nothing else different.
Look on Ebay at 60-66 C10 pickups for sale & you'll probably see some "misfits" I described above.
Good luck on your "fit".
