Factory wheel options... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 87 has what appears to be the factory aluminum mag style six lugs. I'm without a good jack at the moment and I'm wondering the offset but couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

Can you post a pic? I'm not quite sure which wheel you are referring to.

I had listed this truck in the WIW section. Did not get much response, but it has those wheels and the spid. Spid calls those Forged Aluminum Wheels.

I've got some original paperwork, but have not found a build sticker like that. The ones on that truck look like five lug, mine are six.

Yeah, I figured that was just a 2 wheel drive / 4 wheel drive thing.

I thought all half tons were five lug till I bought this one.

So is yours a half ton 2wd or 4wd?

Four wheel drive

Those are the factory RPO PH7 Forged aluminum wheels. They are a 15x7 wheel but I don't know the offset.

They were also available in later years as an RPO N90, which was the same (appearance) wheel but changed to a cast wheel as a cost savings.

They were available on 1/2 ton 2wd (5 hole 5" bolt circle) and 1/2 ton 4wd (6 hole bolt circle).
