Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Do you have the floater hub coming through the rear wheels?if so how well did the rear caps fit over?

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Before I lowered my 68 C20 it had white wheels with hubcaps and trim rings.

I removed the hubcaps and painted the wheels green. Left the trim rings on.

Those are the best looking wheels for these trucks. I wish they were not so hard to find in 16"!

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Here is a tip to the people with alot of money to make a lot of money , make a adapter from a 16.5 rim adapted to a 17 inch tire, i think you will clean up. there is a lot of nice rims going to waste, wishing you all the best

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Are you talking about some kind of 1/4" tire spacer that mounts to old wheels?

I really like the look of factory white steel wheels with hubcaps, but there are very few good choices in 16.5" sizes these days. I cut out the centers from some 16.5" factory wheels and figured out how to mount them to a 17" hoop...

Now I've got a lot of modern tire choices, but with the "look" of a stock wheel.

CG...What do you use to polish those wheels? Looks like the same as mine but I just cannot get them to polish.

Please Help Me Out Here Thank You.

I Need The Right Lugs To Be Able To Put On The Center Caps ?

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

16x8 polished centerlines, picked them up from a forum member years ago & haven't seen another set. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...501_155100.jpg

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Your lug nuts are either 1/2" (drum brakes before 1971) or 9/16" (disc brakes 1971 and later). The correct nuts are commonly called dual thread lug nuts and are available on eBay as well as other sources.

9/16"

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?

[QUOTE=Project_Big_Red;7612722]Not sure what brand but their 16.5

That looks like the beginnings of a sweet truck.
I gotta ask, did you recently buy it?
Seem to recall one similar on cl a while ago.

Anyway these accuride wheels are going on my
71 with some 245 70 16 bfg at's when I find some scew in valve stems.
Thanks too some local board members I also have a full set of oe 16x6" rims also. I wouldn't mind finding a set of firestone transforce tires for them (tall and skinnys)
