Anyone know if these wheels would fit on my truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Below is a link with photos...The guy says they came of a Colorado/Canyon. My truck is a 70 Chevy CST-10 with 15 " 6 lug wheels and 235/75r/15 tires. I've been looking for larger tires as the 235's look small...Anyone have any experience here and know if these American Racing wheels will fit on my truck? The wheels would be a big added bonus in this situation. Thanks, Bob

Dont hold me to it, but I believe they will

I went to American Racings website & looked them up for a Colorado & it said the bolt pattern was 6x5.5
It looks like the centers are big enough, so the only thing left to worry about is offset

Hi guys,
Just for info. that maybe someone else may need in the future......I met with this guy last night and the American Racing wheels (polished Bajas I think)that were formerly on the Canyon/Colorado (06-08?) bolted right up to my 70 Chevy CST-10....(the studs were somewhat short because of the thickness of the wheel hub).....but when I turned the front wheel to the extremes there were interferences....worst one being the bracket that holds the upper part of the rubber brake hose...second "almost interference" was the tie rod end....upper A-arm was very close on top without even turning the wheel.....so in the end....I had to turn the deal down...It's too bad too because he would have taken $350.00 for 4 brand new Dunlop tires and nice American racing wheels.....Bob

all your going to need is spacers. I bet those wheels have a 2" or so backspace. Kind of like the newer generation GM truck rims. spacers, and a little opening up of the center hole in the rim and you should be fine.
