Just your average G78 Cokers on powder coated original steel wheels. They were supposed to be metallic copper.....but turned out a little closer to root beer. I like the color, so I didn't fuss about it.

Here is my 66 with Factory alloy wheel from a 2000 Tahoe. I used 2" aluminum spacers ordered from an ebay vendor. Told him what hub/axle I had & what wheel I was using & he made sure they fit right the first time. Included correct new studs & lug nuts plus correct old lug nuts.

I'm running BFG 235/70 x 16 tires. No Rubbing anywhere.

Are you running adapters on the Camaro wheels or has you truck been changed to 4-3/4 bolt pattern?

I like them. I have 5 on 5 in the front of mine and 6 lug in the back, but I have a 9 inch ready to go in the back that is 5 on 4-3/4".

If this works, I have attached a picture with aluminum mags, 6 lug and a picture of how it sits now with 5 lug rally's in the front. It needs to come down another couple of inches.

I decided to get my ralley's powder coated, so here is the difference, not mounted yet.

I'm running two different pairs of adapters.

Front, I have the 5x5" disc brake upgrade and chose an adapter that went to 5x120mm and was 1.5" (38mm) thick to account for the 39mm camaro offset.

Rear, I have a Tbird SC IRS setup with discs. It's 64" wms-to-wms, so I chose the thinnest adapter (1") I could to try to keep the wheels inside the fenders.

This pic shows the stance a bit better:


I lucked out.

I know the wheel is kinda hard to see, but it's a stock steel from a 92 C/K. I painted an old school GMC logo over the bowtie on the centercap to fit the truck.

This is really the best pic I have that shows my wheels and no, that's not my lady. She posed with the truck for an online magazine.

Super clean truck man, killer stance patina and wheel combo bro.

Plan on switching to these 15x7, painted Ansen slotted mags in the rear mounted on 275/70/15s and am looking for and pair of 15x5 gray torques to run in the front. What do you guys think? Can anyone point me in the direction of a good pair for a good price?

Since post #6, my 15x5 front wheels were replaced with a pair of 15x7’s that match the rear:

[SNTOS63]

Yup those are badass! "The Pusher" inspired the skinny torques! Ha! Yours are exactly what I'm going for, but in a 15x5.

I still have the 15x5’s off my truck sitting in the basement. If you’re interested shoot me a PM. Here’s what they looked like on the truck. The spokes are currently painted black.

[SNTOS63]

The new plan. 15x4.5 in front with 165/r15s & 15x7 in the rear with 275/60r15s!
