Re: Question about 6 lugs?

Went thru this bout a year ago with my 69. Didn't really want to change/redrill axles. Found out almost any wheel manufacturer can supply 6 hole wheels, from Coddington to Americian Racing. I ended up with Torque Thrust 6's from Americian. Had to do some cleareancing for the rear axle flanges with 3inch sanding drum though. Good luck and happy shopping.....

Re: Question about 6 lugs?

Try http://www.cragarwheel.com/ they have a pretty good section of sizes in the correct bolt pattern and backspacing, some 16 and 17 inch sizes too, fairly decent prices too.
