Jeep Aluminum Slot Wheels
Hello all, I have purchased a set of what I believe to be Jeep aluminum slots. 15x7, 6 lug. I plan on putting them on my 67 C10. My question is on the type of lug nut these wheels require. From what I gather and from the looks of the lug nut seating area they take a regular 60 degree lug nut. Anyone able to confirm that? Thanks.

Re: Jeep Aluminum Slot Wheels
Ok, I'll see if I can figure that out. Might have to enlist my better more computer savvy half to assist me.

Re: Jeep Aluminum Slot Wheels
Looks like the normal acorn type is used, but is the hub bore big enough?

Re: Jeep Aluminum Slot Wheels
Would check backspacing. Newer wheels will be HPO (high positive offset) The wheels may inset quite a bit.

Re: Jeep Aluminum Slot Wheels
I believe these wheels are about mid to late 70's vintage. The backspace is not ideal but I believe they will work. I mounted one tire and mocked it up, the tire moved in about 1/2 in. I searched a bit and have seen where folks are running these wheels on C10's.

Re: Jeep Aluminum Slot Wheels
those would need the tapered lug nuts
wheels that use the shouldered nuts don't have that large countersink

Nice find. I like the old school slotted mags.

Re: Jeep Aluminum Slot Wheels
I drilled and tapped the wheels and used rally wheel center caps. I had a clearance issue with the brake drums. I ended up taking a die grinder to the wheels.
