Re: New to me 1972 K5

going to stick with the H2 rims.... after adjusting the brackets, they clear... barely... So we'll see if they need to clearance themselves under load... hahahaha..

The goal will be to replace the front hubs with new ones and run M14x1.5 wheel studs to match the late model disc brake rear... 5/8 front studs was overkill for what the truck wil lbe intended for...



Spyntec makes a forged hub with a higher then normal offset that will allow me to make caliper brackets out of 3/8 material instead of 5/16. I can then run normal M14 studs and run any aftermarket wheel without an issue provided they clear the 14" rotors and Dodge calipers....
