Wheels \ axles questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ive got a 69 3\4 Ton Suburban and would like to put these (or simular) wheels on. painted red of course. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/USW-51-5710/

What do i need to do to convert it to that bolt pattern? Summit offers those wheels in a couple different pattens, but all 5 lug.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I don't know of any way to do that without costing a lot of $$$$. At the very least you'd have to change both of your differentials to 1/2 ton. And even then that will only get you a 6 lug with GM spec differentials. You could go with Dodge 1/2 ton differentials which are 5 lug, but they aren't on a 4.5 or 4.75 circle.

I would suggest looking elsewhere for wheels with an 8 on 6.5 pattern, like maybe Stockton Wheel. You could get close to that look with just some stock steel wheels, baby moon centers and trim rings.
