Anybody slammed with old 5 slot rims??

I am changing out the studs on my truck right now so I can slide my new old slot rims under those low fenders. My studs are just too short to work with the wheels. My rear is a 8" and fronts 7". I hope with low profile tires my rear will tuck without interference. I just wondering if anybody already had something like that i could see. thanks..

Re: Anybody slammed with old 5 slot rims??

Are you referring to these kind of slot wheels - similar to the Ansens, etc?



...if you are, mine are 16x12 in the rear and 15x6 up front.

Yep that is what i am talking about. Mine are the old western wheel ones. nothing special and 6 lug. Your truck looks bada@@. did you polish them yourself? I am just hoping they will fit in the rear step side fender with the tuck I have.. Any width difference between stepside and fleet at the inner most wheel opening??

Re: Anybody slammed with old 5 slot rims??

The rears, I believe, are a set of US Indy. The fronts are the newer Ansens from American...since I have big disc brakes up front, none of the vintage Ansens would clear my 6-piston calipers. I had the rear set re-polished - I don't have a polishing wheel large enough to accommodate the dish depth. I don't believe there is much of a difference in the fender widths. It really comes down to the backspacing of the wheels you use.

Re: Anybody slammed with old 5 slot rims??

Mine had an old school set when I bought it. The rears were 15x10. No way they would have fit under the fenders. The 8's might tuck with small tires.
