Will these fit?
I'm thinking the backspacing is wrong. Can they be run on my 68 with spacers?

Possibly.
It would depend on what the offset/back-spacing is on them.

Ok, thanks. I've got an email in to the guy asking about backspacing, but he hasn't gotten back with me. What BS should I be looking for? 5 or 5.5 or so?

4"-5" BS will work on these trucks if bolting wheels up directly. Factor in the width needed for spacers & I would guess 5.5"+ or so would work. Adapters typically come in 1" minimum thickness.

Thanks for the help. Maybe the guy will email me back one day.

Re: Will these fit?
Well, I guess the answer is Yes and No. They measure at 5.5 for backspacing but it's not right in the back. I think it can be solved with a spacer (1" maybe) but I'm not sure. The center hole is also not big enough for the back, but I don't think it will matter running a spacer. The front seems to fit better, however I can't really tell because I don't have the fenders on to measure. We'll see. If they don't fit the 68 I may put them on my 98. I'm feeling the need for a change on there. Here's some pics.

Re: Will these fit?
Any thoughts on this? I know some guys don't like spacers, but I've heard the spacers that are like an adapter is ok to run. Anyone else have experience with later model wheels?
