Re: 8 lug wheels help

Here is a picture of my '69 C20 with the 8-lug wheels and tires when I first bought it. Since then I did a front disc conversion, installed heavy duty coil springs to give it a little lift, and changed the wheels and tires. I still have these wheels and tires and thinking about selling them.
