8 lug slot mags - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I like the aluminum slots. 16.5 when aired down for real wheeling can pop the bead too easy (I was told on the trail) So I opted for the 16" that has the inner bead that the 16.5" doesn't have. 16" tires are easier to find as well. 16" with any real width aluminum are hard to find though. Someone should bring back the slots in 16"x9" with a nice deep dish sort of look. One thing always seems to be missing either way is nice center caps that still allow you to use your 4x4 hubs.

Tim, these were designed that way. 17x10

I'll be buying some at some point. I'm good till I restore the truck with the wheels and tires I bought last year.

jjzepplin · 06-03-2018, 12:50 PM

I really like those! Cone style lug nuts? Does the center fit snug on Chevy axles?

About and 1/8 gap on the front hub and I haven't test fitted the rears yet. And yeah 60° taper lug nuts

**mrtoni** · 06-03-2018, 01:28 PM

I got a good deal on 16x8 challengers 6 lug. Love to find a spare tho

Trailering Special · 06-03-2018, 05:28 PM

Here is my 1978 3/4 with 16.5 slotted mags. I love the looks but tires are really hard to find. I would like larger tires.

**special-K** · 06-05-2018, 07:19 AM

The perfect wheel design.

Ive read through this thread several times and Im missing where you purchased these mags.

I have cleszkie's old 16.5 mags on my truck with Swampers and I love the look. I have a buddy that wants mags, but not 16.5's. Can you tell me where these 17x10's came from so I can let him know...Thanks!

**71blksuper4x4** · 06-05-2018, 08:00 AM

They are US Mags Indy 17x10.

**Joesjunk** · 06-05-2018, 08:49 AM

I have a set of 16x8 Challengers on my 71

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-05-2018, 09:27 AM

I love that truck Joe!

**mrtoni** · 06-05-2018, 09:34 AM

Joe, great look. What tire size and lift?

**Joesjunk** · 06-05-2018, 01:16 PM

It sits 1 1/2” over stock, and has 285/75/16 tires

**Joesjunk** · 06-05-2018, 01:27 PM

And I have real slots on this 71. 16.5 x 8.25 with 9.50x16.5 tires

KQQL IT · 06-05-2018, 04:20 PM

Have 2 cragar 16.5 x 9.75 or 10 that came with old blue.

And I will say the forged ones will take to polishing out nicer

Some green rouge and 2 hours of polishing.
Man these polished up way nicer than any cast wheel.

**Joesjunk** · 06-09-2018, 05:22 PM

Man those polished up great!

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-09-2018, 05:22 PM
