Dog Dish - 15/16?

I purchased dog dish hubcaps off ebay for 15 inch steelies before finding the rims. I have found a set of 16 inch 6 bolt off of a suburban. Will my dog dishes still fit onto the 16 inch?

Re: Dog Dish - 15/16?

Dealer model info seems to indicate that caps will work for period correct six-lug 16” wheels (see below) but not six-lug 16.5” wheels. The 16” are pretty narrow but could be widened.

The dog dish off my 15" wheels fit right on my 1970 with factory 16" wheels

How wide are your factory 16" Wheels?

My K10 had 16.5"x8" wheels on it when I got it, but they are smoothie style and won't accept dog dish hubcaps.

Larry, Just saw this. I am not sure. 6" or 7" wide. Mike.

Re: Dog Dish - 15/16?

The rim diameter has nothing to do with hubcap fitment. That is determined by the bolt pattern in the center where they mount. 5 and 6-lug wheels maintain the same dimensions other than hole count, then there are hubcaps for 8-lug.

My wheels are Wheel Vintque style, smoothie. They won't accept factory style hubcaps.
