I am taking a different approach to the problem now...I am currently in the process of switching out the DANA 60 open diff rear for a 14 bolt Full floater off an 87 1 ton. The hub seems to be a good bit less protrusive and may allow for hub caps and will definitely allow for screw-on center caps....now I'm stuck with 1.5 inch spacers .... |
Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I'm pretty sure you have to find center caps from a dually truck to be deep enough to have clearance for H2 wheel....
This site has some measurements... http://www.hubcaps-wheelcovers.com/c...enter_caps.htm |

Started loosely assembling my 8ft step bed in anticipation of getting the wack fitting beat fleetside off.
I can raise the floor with the stepper and make it fit on the dump frame easier than a fleet....plus I like the stepper look better on a 4x4. Picked up another sport comp water temp guage since my old one went south and a small tach. The kid has this same tach in his truck and its nice, not big and bulky. I plan on getting the new pto cables hooked up this week I have one on allready but I gotta build brackets for the pto and dump valve. I've been looking too build some duel's off my manifolds but wow is it gonna be tight with the pto in the way, just might be easier too put the y pipe back on. Oh and cleaned up a oe front bumper and started putting it on. I'm thinking for now oe bumper and grill guard till I can find a winch. Also grabbed this square body c member and skid plate this week from the jy gonna try too make it work. I need to find some lift blocks and u bolts for the rear to level this thing out. The 205's look good there tim. Could a swore I was on the wdydtyttt thread...whoops |

I came up on these 17" late model factory GMC wheels & went for them.

Nice, how did it work with the rear axle stubs? Have you used spacers? |
Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Yep. One & a half inch spacers. If they have their own set of studs, I call them adapters, & these do. I just get nervous about using adapters. I want to change out to 9/16" studs, just for piece of mind.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Please tell me about the conversion kit needed... I have a 1970 C20 Camper Special with 8-lug wheels. I am considering getting the same Sliverado wheels you show in your photo.

Also, if your axle is a Dana you may need to purchase spacers for the rear wheels. I think 1/2" usually will do it. Then the studs would likely need to be replaced with a longer version. Here are some eBay listings showing the options: All 32, 1/2"- http://www.ebay.com/itm/32-LUG-NUTS-...270283?vxp=mtr All 32, 9/16"- http://www.ebay.com/itm/32-LUG-NUTS-...item3ae5d4da01 He also sells lots of 16 and occasionally has a listing for a mixed lot of 16 of each size. |

17×7 steels off an '03-'12 Dodge Ram. Not sure how I like them. Might order some beauty rings for a cheap fix until I can afford something shiny.

As for those Vision wheels, I saw one style that had the right design, but I'm not into chrome or black wheels. |

Has anyone run the OEM Alcoa dually wheels that come on the new Dodges? I'm picking up a set for cheap off my local classifieds next week. I'd like to run them on my 1978 K35. Any idea what I'll need to use for lug nuts, and where I can buy them?
I've attached a pic for reference. |
