Nope, the factory ones do not. The center hole on a 10 bolt axle is smaller then on the rear axle that is under your truck. I guess you could machine the wheels to open up the center hole. I bought a set of steel wheels from for friends 06 chevy, and found out they didnt fit due to this problem.

Razmataz:

American Racing, Weld Wheels and Eagle Alloy makes wheels that will fit the '60-'66 Chevy trucks with six lug and eight lug hubs. I just bought a set of 17" eight lug Eagle Alloy rims for my '66 Chevy K20. I also have a few other trucks with aftermarket six lug rims. There are countless aftermarket wheel styles available for these trucks. Here a few examples:

It will work but the offset is a little shallow!!!

If you machine the center hole, I dont see why it wouldnt work. Just check the caliper clearance up front, the fender clearance, and you should be good to go! Just be sure to a have a spare bored for if you get a flat.

most after market rims as mentioned by LILRed will work. They uasaly come with the larger center bore, and hub centric rings.

Ive got stock drum brakes, There are a lot of good deals on factory take off wheels & tires ! 16" rims should clear the drums , or would I need spacer's for the front not to rub against something ?? What's the offset difference between stock and a late model chevy ?
