15x8 wheels 71 k5 4x4

Hey guys,
Looking for a set of 15x8 k5 4x4 wheels. I know they're difficult to find.

Question- I have a pair of 15x8 wheels off a 70 that won't clear the calipers. Does anyone know of a company in the So California area that can cut the center of them out, adjust the offset so they'll clear? Thought I saw a thread on it a few years ago but can't find it now. Of course avoiding this and buying a set would be great.
Any help is greatly appreciated... thanks

Forgot to mention I'm only referring to steel stock wheels, I believe 4 nub.

You need a set of Military CUCV wheels. They look great on the Blazers

Your wheels and lift look great. Is that a 2" lift? Are those 33/10.50's or 12.50's?

I'm looking for the same thing for my blazer. Those CUCV wheels would be perfect, but where does one get them?

Re: 15x8 wheels 71 k5 4x4

Watch the parts for sale main section, not just the blazer section. They come up now and again. Usually around 100 bucks a pop.

You guys that are board subscribers can place WTB ads there too.
