A Question

[JCD]

I recently found these pictures online.
They show a 65-66 GM truck wearing a set of the late model rims.

Now..my question.
Do they fit my 72 3/4 or not?

I've been told yes, told no.. and I turned down a really good deal on a set with tires because some members here in a thread said they don't

Those 8 luggers fit my neighbors 67 gmc no problem

They will absolutely work and there are some board members that have had them on there 67-72 trucks in the past.

The problem is the center cap. The center cap takes a special lug nut to hold it on. The correct lug nut is metric and your 72 is standard thread.

I am sure some other members will chime in to a cure to this problem. I am not sure myself how to get around it.

Hope this helps.

They'll fit, but the caps may not be deep enough if you have a Dana axle. You can add a relatively thin spacer though. With an Eaton axle you should be OK. Here's a thread with lots of options including the ones you are asking about.

There are also quite a few of us running Hummer H2 17" wheels with the Chevy or GMC caps. They have more offset moving the wheel/tire outboard more.

EDIT:
Here's the lug nuts you need for a 72. 70 and earlier, if stock, use 1/2" also available from the same seller.

Here's a picture of the Hummer wheels I mentioned in the post above on my 69. Just another late model GM option.
