Will Chevy Caprice Rims (5x5) Fit?

I have some winter wheels for my 95 Impala SS sitting in the back of my garage and a 69 truck rolling chassis with crappy rims/tire on it and...

My question is will the 9C1 (cop car rims) fit on my truck chassis - both are 5x5 but didn't know if the rim would clear the hub...or if there was a difference in backspacing between car and truck ralleys...

Here is what they look like...(borrowed a pic from elsewhere)

If they are like the aluminum SS ris they will fit. Friend of mine for giggles put a set of the aluminum SS wheels on 71 2wd and had 0 problems. If there had been he would not have done it- all about the easy.

yes, they will work just fine. You must have done a 6 to 5 lug conversion?

Nope - but PO did...

And also swapped to a front disc setup as well. This will be my builder frame once I get my solid project to work on...

Thanks Everybody - now I got something to do tomorrow after I eat.
