WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

Looking for 1 15x8 4 nub steel wheel (6x5.5) to use for a spare. Thought I would see if something original is out there before going with Wheel Vintiques.
Thanks!

Just a suggestion but might want to ask a Mod to move this to the WTB parts forum as this is posted to "Misc. for Sale" section. Might get better response. Those steel 6 lug 15 x 8s can be rough to find and don't come cheap. Good luck with your search. Swap meets can be your friend if you have any local to you.

C.I.Blazer they are back in stock at Summit racing the WV series 62

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

Will the original stainless dog dish hubcaps work with these Wheel Vintique wheels?

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

Wheel Vintiques makes a 6-lug Series 62 wheel now?

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

Yes, they will if your hubcaps are the nub style caps.

They have made them for awhile now, but was apparently either discontinued for a bit or just out of stock for a bit. I've got a set of them on my 63 that I bought used almost 3 years ago. The original purchaser had bought them a year or two prior to removing them after switching to 5 lug

Thanks. I had no idea.
Do they make them in 15x8?
I can’t find them.
With the skyrocketing prices of the original 15x8 CUCV wheels, these are a great alternative.

I did find these,…

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

Yes, mine are 15x8s
All of my hubcaps stayed on when I went over a stupid rough section of I-20 outside of Atlanta that made me feel like the whole truck left the pavement for a second or two :lol:

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

I had heard from some that they did not work so good to know.

I do notice the Wheel Vintiques are 3 nub, the cucv's are 4 nub.

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

You have to make sure you order the correct style.
One style they sell is made for the Corvette style caps that mount to the inside of the lug nut area. This one has no nubs on the outside for the nub style hubcaps.
The style posted by lolife99 and what I have on my truck is the one you need for nub style caps.
I've been pleased with the quality of my wheels and even though I bought them used, they were basically new. The tires I put on are the second set of tires on the wheels

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

Those are nice! I just looked them up and the reviews say they don't fit front Disc brakes. bummer..

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

I have stock 1.25" squarebody brakes on my 63 (6 lug rotor though) and they clear my wheels with no problems at all. I don't remember my exact backspacing, but it's either 4" or 4.25". Not sure when I'll get a chance to pull the wheel off for a measurement though

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

I heard the same thing, that they will not fit on the front with disc brakes. I can still buy one and use it as a spare. Just would require swapping a rear to the front and the spare on the rear if I ever had a flat up front.

Can anyone confirm on the disc brake question?

Re: WTB 15x8 Steelie
 

The 5 lug 15x8 would not clear the calipers on a set of 88-98 spindles I have. They were 4.25” backspace. I sent them back to summit racing. They may have fit if I ground off some material on the calipers but I did not want to do that. I believe the 6 lug wheels are also 4.25” backspace. I plan on getting 6 lug rotors and using my 6 lug CUCV wheels as they are 3.75” backspace and should hopefully clear the calipers.
