8 lug wheel question
anybody know if 8 lug aluminum wheels off off of a 2007 chevy truck will fit my 72 c20? I know some late model wheels fit just not sure about 2007 model.

Re: 8 lug wheel ouestion
They will BUT, the offset is really a little too far in tucking the wheels kinda far inside the fender, from what i have come to understand some people don't mind it too much but others have been bothered by it and got some spacers to bring the wheel out.

You will also need a set of special lugnuts that adapts to the wheels and your lugs. I got mine from lugnutking on eBay.

No, different threads. One is a metric and the old truck is a standard[SAE] thread.

I got these 2008 17"x7.5 dirt cheap and they fit great, mounted 285x70's on them. Perfect fit for me.

Be sure 9/16" is the correct size. They used 1/2" through 1970 and 9/16" in 71 and 72. However, a lot can happen in 40 plus years.

Re: 8 lug wheel ouestion
The dually caps are too big in diameter to fit those wheels. I have both style caps. You will have to try a different style or make a spacer in the rear. Trevor
