6 lug Dodge rims on a c10?

[markeb01]

Back in high school auto shop in the 60’s, we were warned about using Ford wheels on a Mopar, or Mopar wheels on a Ford. They both shared the same 4.5” bolt pattern, but the lug nut interference angle on the wheels were different. Using the wrong combination of wheels/lug nuts caused them to come loose in service. Just something to consider.

Ok mystery solved for these wheels anyway. I went over to take a look and the rims are stamped GM, they are 8" wide with a 4" back space and have 2 large nubs and 2 small nubs for hubcap retention They came off a 79 chevy 4x4 service truck with a utility body so the hub caps are aftermarket or maybe dodge caps someone stuck on there. Anyway I made a deal and they now sit in my garage!
