Re: hey guys will these rims fit our trucks
they'll probably physicly bolt on... but they'll be tucked in too much and you may not be able to turn the wheels all the way

Re: hey guys will these rims fit our trucks
probably won't help much. Can you get a pic of the back of the wheel? It's not so much the tire, but the location of the wheel in the fenderwell. If the back spacing is not right, and the wheel is tucked in too much, it won't work very well. You could get spacers, but you would be better off getting wheels that fit properly.
Those look to be late model rims, and that is the problem. New cars require different backspacing than old ones. New cars look like the wheel is flat (as looking from the outside) while old cars need deeper dish rims. |

Re: hey guys will these rims fit our trucks
Yeah need backspace measurements.
If thru are local, the guy should let you try and fit one on the truck. I've had people give me a deposit and take one wheel with them to try, or drive teir car to me and test one. If they have a lot of bs, as others said you'll need spacers. Bad thing about 67-69 is the narrow rear, it makes more of an issue. On my 69 stepside, 4.75" is as much bs as I can fit Posted via Mobile Device

Re: hey guys will these rims fit our trucks
the other question will be the hub. Looks like those were on a late model truck judging by the tire size....so likely the hub bore is too small...that can be machined but something to consider.... (or you can install a small spacer to clear the hub)
Also, the tires being so large will be overly large for your truck and might rub with your drop and definitely will make the speedo be way off....

Re: hey guys will these rims fit our trucks
Tires are big, they look more like a 17 or maybe 18
