Supremes on a 6-lug - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lemondrop63 · 10-10-2007, 06:11 AM

I really like the look of the astro supremes wheels, but I have 6 lugs. Should I use a adapter or change rotors and axels?

If you use a good quality adapter....then you will be fine.

Otherwise, if you plan on a disk brake upgrade in the future, then might as well convert to 5.

I have used the billet adapters before on 'hoppers' and have had no problems...they are beefy.

Thanks chief. The truck has '72 power disc on front and just the standard rear end. I'll look into those adapters, I don't plan on any hops but a nice standing 3 wheel stance would look nice.

Go ahead and talk to sal I'm not quite ready for them yet. I'm not sure if I have the spare 2". With my luck I'll have to change everything out.

I love those old style caps, to me they will never go out of style. I also like the full disc caps on certain projects.

I've saw 'em on narrow whites and they look pretty good.

NF65Fleetside · 10-12-2007, 01:37 PM

^^^ yah those are pretty fresh, almost like a fatter supream.
