Post K20 Wheel size

Does anyone know the size of the original two piece wheel on a 72 K20? I think it is 8 lug. I am inheriting and transporting one in June that needs tires and I have some 16" tires available. WIll they fit? I will post some pics when I get it, before the restoration. Thanks

16.5" x 6" were standard and I think these are the split kind. I had 16" x 6.75" on mine and they are riveted. There were many optional sizes. Regardless of the size the 8 lug pattern is the same so your other rims should fit. You didn't say what the other rims were off of or what year. If they are 72 they definately will fit.

I agree with 68SWB4x4
100%. Throw those things away. Burry them, toss them in the ocean.
