If I recall correctly, the hole for the hub, as well as the backspacing are all wrong on those rims.

WAY too much back spacing... needs a 3 or 4 inch spacer to work. NOT a good idea at all

It didn't work for me. My coworker switched to "bling bling" wheels on his newer truck and was selling these cheap. Didn't clear the hub and tire was against the wood bed.

Late 80's to early 90's Aftermarket Toyota 6 lug wheels fit well. Lots of the Toyota guys will upgrade and sell off their old rims and tires.

Wheels off Tacoma, Tundra or FJ cruiser will fit......

I am running 20's for a mid 90's chevy with the 6-bolt on my 67 with pretty good size tires...275/55 I believe...and a 3/5 drop. I would have to look again to make sure on that tire size. I got a great deal on the wheels and had seen that a few guys on here had done it, so I figured I could as well.

Up front I got some 1/2 inch aluminum spacers (to clear the hub) and put in longer lug nuts. Fits perfectly.

In the back I bought some aluminum 1.5 inch spacers...mid 90's chevy spacers...and bolted them on. Fits almost perfect. I might try 2"s to see how they fit.

Here are some pics of different angles. I guess I didn't take any of just the spacers. When I pull the rims off in the next few weeks for new suspension I will snap some shots. I will be starting a build thread here soon, so I will put them there.
