69 chevy wheel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thordy · 03-11-2008, 06:19 AM

I have a 1969 chevy half ton long box. Would these wheels fit my truck? This seems like a good deal and those are the rims I would like on my truck.
Thanks in advance.

probably not.
The later trucks have a smaller 'hub hole' , plus, the back spacing is all wrong making it look silly.

Welcome to the board from Shawnee, KS!

As for your question, you will need to install some wheel spacers. the backspacing sucks the wheels in too close to the frame. you'll also need to open up the center hole to clear the hub on your half ton...... you can do a search on late model wheels and get a little more info.

it's doable, but not without a bit of modifications.

by the way, those are some nice, nice rims. I believe they were originally installed on the top end Silverados.

Thank you for the fast replies.
So the bolt pattern should be the same and these should fit my truck with someminor modifications?
