After market steel wheels for dog dish caps
Looking for some clarification on wheels allowing the use of dog dish caps on my K10.
Summit Racing lists a Wheels Vintiques 62 which is basically the same as a Coker wheel; OEPR1586L414. Both are 15 x 8 and have a 4.5” back space. Does anyone know if these will clear the calipers or even the tie rod on the front and drum on the back or would they require a spacer and longer studs? Any comments on fitment or issues with would be greatly appreciated. |

Re: After market steel wheels for dog dish caps
There is a search function just to the left of your user name above. Here is a 37 second search I just did. Hope this is helpful in your "search" for rims....

Re: After market steel wheels for dog dish caps
The above link posted are for 16x7 Ford wheels, which are for a K20 (8 lug). He needs 6 lug wheels.
You best bet is a set of 15x8 CUCV wheels, which came on military Blazers from 1984-86 or 87. They have 3.75” backspacing and fit perfectly. My experience (and some others as well from what I’ve read) is that the aftermarket wheels have too much backspacing and hit the tie rods. I have not heard of any issues with caliper clearance.

Re: After market steel wheels for dog dish caps
Thanks, leddzepp, you're absolutely correct, I need 6 lug, not 8.
And for what it’s worth, I did a lot of searching of all of the forums before I posted my thread. |

Re: After market steel wheels for dog dish caps
I like these wheels but they are too expensive. I still might buy some someday.
