2008 z71 wheels on 86 K10? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Might go a different route then converting my 86 to 2 wheel. Came up with a really nice set of 2008 17" Z71 wheel and tires.
I am being lazy will these wheels fit properly on the 86 without back space probelm?

Thanks,
Steve

The problem is the center hole. It's too small for the front hub. You'll have to machine it bigger or use spacers.

I tried to fit my stock 01 Silverado wheels on a K5 front end, and it was the same issue, the holes on the wheels were just too small. Off buy just a little, almost makes you want to take a grinder to them...

no, I didn't buy them, between having to use spacers because of offset and the hub not coming thru , too bad, I like the looks and so much easier finding name brand used tires cheap. I priced some spacers...............

This truck has late model wheels. They look pretty good on these trucks.
