Coy Wheels Don't Fit Chevy Trucks...

[Alvin]

I bought some 17x8 Edelbrock 454 wheels and hit similar problems. They had tri-bar spinners that actually screwed onto the push-in center cap. The center cap wouldn't fit over the hub, just like the coy's. I also had a problem of the lug recesses on the face of the wheel. The only thing I can figure is the 5x5 cars must have smaller lugs, because there was no way I could fit a lug nut in the recess.

I wound up going with 17x8 American Racing Torq-thrust Originals. They bolted right up without any problems.

That's what I had to do with my front wheels too.

I had to run knock offs instead of the standard caps to clear the hubs on my Billet Cruzers. 71see10 had to grind his rotors like you did to get his Centerlines to fit.

They do. The cars have 7/16" studs and the trucks have 1/2" after '71.

Thanks again for that file Dewayne!! I had terrellautosports from here cut me a set of spacers,and they should be here really soon!. Thanks Tim!!! You rock!

That should solve the fitment issue, but now I have to go to work on the substandard (in my eyes) polishing job. I won'y have to bother with using soft towels as the wheels came equipped with fine scratches right from Coy's.

The valve stems hitting the caliper will not be an issue either. On my Coy's,you unscrew a cap and screw in an adaptor to air up the tire. When you're done, you screw the cap back in. Pretty cool!

I had to grind down my rotors for my coys to fit on the front of my Blazer.
