I'm running 6 lug / 8 inch wheels that originally were meant for a Blazer . These are not Rallye wheels but are steel wheels .

Wheel Smith smoothies 15x6.

Hey sixtyfour that looks nice. What tires are those and what size? Do you have spacers on the rear? Is it a 2" whitewall?

Tires are 235/75/r15 American Classic w/1.6" white wall, no spacers.

A '64 C10 is 6 lug originally, or are you referring to 6 lug with disc brakes?

Revoh · 04-15-2009, 02:32 PM

I've got the, um, freakin' sweet original wheels with a nice, beat-up set of '63 car hubcaps.

I actually think these hubcaps were put on the truck when it was new at the dealership, though. They were just as scuzzy as the rest of the truck, and I know it spent it's whole life in the small Nebraska town that I bought it in. I honestly believe the dealer put those on there to tart it up over the painted hubcaps it came with.

Smoothies from Tony.. AKA (littlered)

ceruzziracing · 04-15-2009, 04:28 PM

American Racing...pretty funny, the 85 3/4 ton that a bought for engine/tranny donor had the same style wheels on it.

protrash64 · 04-15-2009, 06:34 PM

Does anyone know if late model rims will fit our trucks or are the patterns different?

Backspacing is all wrong for a newer style chevy to fit a 60-66.
With spacers they will fit as the lug pattern is the same.
With drum brakes I've found a 3.75" backspacing works well.
Measure from the back of the rim to the lug nut holes.

I just posted mine above........originally made for 88-98 3/4 ton chevy. Looks like they fit to me, just the centerbore as an issue. Older trucks have very large hub. 6-lug pattern is 6x5.5''(139.7mm).

protrash64 · 04-15-2009, 09:04 PM

........these wheels also fit 99+ trucks. Forgot that above.

ob1monkey · 04-15-2009, 09:14 PM

Centerline 17x8 and 17x9.5

I tried my '00 Silverado rims on my '62 and they hit the a-arm.
Tried a set of rallyes with a 4.25" backspacing and they hit also.
Not starting an argument, just saying.

*LILRED66* · 04-16-2009, 03:36 AM

It looks like I have a soft spot for the Rallys.

*LILRED66* · 04-16-2009, 03:40 AM

And one more.
