Probably not, the center hole is too small to fit the center guide on our drums.

have you converted over to disc in front? if so they will fit the front but you will have to have the rear axles machined down to fit the wheel center bore.

need to know bolt pattern, center hole size, offset, made for disc or drum brake.

Tells you right in the description that it fits 98 - 03 GM 6 lug. You'll have to work to make them fit PROPERLY. Scott

Bad69,

Do you replace the tie rod ends when you convert to front disc? The problem that I had with the newer style wheels was that once I changed the center bore size, thay hit the tie rod ends, and that was with standard size wheels, not the wider ones. I do not have the front disc conversions though.

70 longbed; if you go with 17" or larger wheels it wont matter, they will clear them, but no the tie rods are the same and wont clear 16" or smaller wheels.

when I converted over I changed everything, drop spindles, tie rods,ball joints,and changed to 6 lug disc brakes,I did install 71-72 tie rods(sorry forgot).i think the tie rods are the same though.

I see where the larger wheel size would eleviate the tie rod end problem, but I only had a standard size tire, P245-65 16 mounted??? and the tire itself rubbed when I turned the wheel to far in either direction.
