got some new wheels for the work truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 04-13-2008, 07:37 PM

The 86 I just bought was sitting for a few years and the tires had a lot of dry rot and one sidewall split so I decided to pick up a set of stock wheels/tires from a new truck. Didnt have a lot of time or money to find the tires I want but these will work for now. What do you think?

Where is the pic?

Looks Good

bigblock73 · 04-13-2008, 07:45 PM

Ahh, they look good.

babyJay · 04-13-2008, 08:57 PM

I thought the newer 8 lugs were a different pattern? Great look tho, that's what my 87 30 needs!

Pyrotechnic · 04-13-2008, 09:14 PM

Those wheels look really great on 73-87's !

MylilBowTie · 04-13-2008, 10:04 PM

Did you have to use different lugnuts? If so where did you get them?

You have to use a conversion lugnut, I've bought some at autozone before but I couldnt find any in town so I ordered them on ebay.

Looks great crazy how a set of wheels can change the look of a truck.

*78 Chevyrado* · 04-15-2008, 04:58 AM

Looks good! I have the other steels on mine

Here's a link to those lug nuts on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wheel...QQcmdZViewItem

TexasJeff · 04-15-2008, 02:50 PM

I have to admit great choice of wheels, they look great.

MylilBowTie · 04-15-2008, 06:30 PM

Even the steel rims look good!

*78 Chevyrado* · 04-15-2008, 06:38 PM

Hey texas jeff, what size are those tires? any rubbing issues?

Rooster's82 · 04-15-2008, 07:19 PM

I wish my truck looked as nice as your "work truck".

babyJay · 04-15-2008, 08:24 PM

Cochino, can I get a close up pic of your front lockout? Was it hard to customize the cap? Thanks. Jason

cochino12 · 04-15-2008, 08:54 PM

Thanks for all the compliments, I seem to have a problem keeping trucks but I think I will hold on to this one for a while

Took about 5 minutes with an air saw.

babyJay · 04-15-2008, 09:45 PM

Thanks!

TexasJeff · 04-15-2008, 10:38 PM

78CHEVYRADO, They are LT-285-75R16, no rubbing issues at all.

**N2TRUX** · 04-17-2008, 03:23 PM

The new style wheels really set the 73-87's off. I like em...

**Captkaos** · 04-17-2008, 11:45 PM

I must be living under a rock! Are those 8 lug?
I want to get some inexpensive wheels for my 91 1T Crew Cab...

*78 Chevyrado* · 04-18-2008, 02:21 AM

They're all 8 lug, 8x6.5 pattern I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong guys.
