6 lug wheels- yes; I used search - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can members post pics of custom 6 lug wheels; I'm really having a difficult time finding custom 6 lugs. I'm trying to avoid converting to 5 lug.

Redneck-Mafia · 04-16-2008, 01:43 AM

I had new 16" tires so I went with these guys on my '69 LWB...

They aren't holding up the best next to the beach but they look great and you can get the 7/16 lug openings on them.

jb4short · 04-16-2008, 02:13 AM

nice- I hadn't seen those

1LoC10 · 04-16-2008, 02:18 AM

all the 99+ trucks are 6 lugs.. it shouldnt be to hard to find custom 6 lugs

whatnow123 · 04-16-2008, 03:06 AM

Coddington's (may he rest in peace) Smoothie ll's. 17x8 and 17x10 with 4.5 backspacing. More photos on my build thread below.

70c10 · 04-16-2008, 04:04 AM

These are pretty inexpensive and this guy sells them in 15" also. He also will sell a set of 8" and 10".

Longhorn Man · 04-16-2008, 05:22 AM

just look in the 4X4 section for 6 lug rims... they have always been 6 lug.
Looking at modern 6 lug, you have to watch the size of the hub (pilot) hole, new ones are smaller, and you also have to watch the goofy late model backspacing.

**Ron 586** · 04-16-2008, 05:31 AM

I bought these off a board member here but don't know where he got them. 6 lug 20's

I have to drop the truck 2/4 and I hope they don't look so big. There's no motor or trans. in it now so that will help some.

HuggerCST · 04-16-2008, 06:01 AM

IMO, it's hard to beat this old standby, and you can get them chrome, 5 or 6 lug, and in larger sizes. Not to mention various cap styles.

Riveted1 · 04-16-2008, 06:13 AM

Sry I don't have pics, but you can get most custom wheels in 6-lug these days. You know, the ones that take weeks and weeks to get? I know most Bonspeed and Boze wheels can be picked up in 5 or 6 lug, Intro has some models, Coddington has some, and I think you can get a lot of the Billet Specialties wheels in 6 lug. Just my .02

Swifty · 04-16-2008, 08:41 AM

i see 6 lugs all the time. just google it. Try having 8 lugs. now thats a pain. good luck finding that 1 set that catches your eye.

those are sharp- thanks!

I agree! I saw a set in person recently on a conversion van of all things and they looked good. Price is good too!

I sent the guy an e-mail to double check backspacing and to make sure 9.5" wide wheels won't be an issue. When it comes to wheels on these I'm an idiot...it was easier in the seventies when you could just grab a set of Cragar Magmasters and go

Wow, those are really inexpensive! Let us know if you order some, I'd like to see how they look on one of our trucks.

That is a pretty good deal. The 9.5 rim with -19 offset, if my calculations are right puts the backspacing at about 4.5, which just about perfect with that wide a rim, for the rear anyway. So this is a good deal for someone. I'd be all over these if I didn't already purchase mine.

I think they only come in 8" or 10". Look at this CHEAP price on 15's:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/15-CR...3756.m20.l1116

I called the guy and sent him a picture of what we want to do with the truck. He says he's got ten years in the wheel business so I'll see what he comes up with for a wheel/tire combo

70c10 · 04-17-2008, 04:10 AM

Cool, I emailed him last year and he was pretty helpful with my questions. Here are some more styles I found by Cruiser Alloy but I like the 924 the best!:http://www.hickmanstires.com/wheels.php?brand=169

Here is a pic of of the rim with a 265/70/17 tire!

Great thread guys...alot of us must be looking at rims this time of the year.....

67chevemall · 04-17-2008, 04:30 AM

I wonder what a good back spacing would be for the front?
I would really like all four wheels to have the same back spacing...is this posible????

What would the back spacing be for all 4 the same??
