Wheel Fitment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got these wheels for my 68 C-10 but I didn't bother to test fit before I cleaned and painted them

They rub on the UCA and hit the tie rod, so the backspacing is wrong, correct? Anything I can do to make them fit? Anyone know what these were for originally? I knew the bolt pattern was right and figured they would fit....

Guess it might help if I posted the pic.

How wide are they? If they're between 7-8'' wide they have a ton of backspacing from the looks of it.

They are 7" wide.

You could either do some clearancing with a grinder if they're just touching or run a spacer. Maybe go shopping for another set, I know dirtball picked up a set just like that, but 6'' wide. No rubbing.

If I ran a spacer would I necessarily have to change the length of the studs? I don't think grinding will provide me enough clearance.
