URGENT FIVE lug wheel question (NON-rally wheels).... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jocko** · 01-02-2012, 03:39 PM

Ok, only urgent in that I have a friend headed to a junkyard and I want to text him a correct shopping list....

Hello Truckers - most of my questions have centered around the later 6 lug 4x4 wheels from 71-87 (for use on a 66 C10 that I want to add disk brakes to with 6 lugs) - but THIS question is about Disk Brake 5 Lug Wheels -

For Disk Brake FIVE lug truck wheels (i.e. 71 to ??) can someone please tell me what then end year was for the common wheels shared on 5 luggers for 1/2 tons? Was it 1987 also?

Are there any car wheels that are identical (a question I never asked with the 6 lug question, but figured there might be some in 5 lug)?

Any other gotchas I need to be aware of?

thanks!

holy crap! hmmm, aren't all those metric? Or is that just translation in a parts catalog? What'd you put in "the computer" to get all that out? Wow, thanks!

cdowns · 01-02-2012, 05:48 PM

what the computur dont tell you is any of those pre 71 wheels wont clear most disc brakes

**jocko** · 01-02-2012, 06:10 PM

yep, that's why I was asking, clearly some of those on the list will not work. Looks almost so broad that the search may have just been for 5 lug... (just kidding RustyBucket) - but I am interested in what the search parameters you put in were. I know I'll need 71 and up at a minimum, and seems remarkable that all those car wheels would fit a 71/72 chev, but who knows. Appreciate the help.

On a separate note - what widths did truck rally wheels come in? Just 15x8? Or were 15x7's available? Thanks.

RustyBucket · 01-02-2012, 06:24 PM

Metric: 5 X 127 IS 5"X5, I typed "what veh. uses 5x5 lug pattern"...
I think I've had some 7" rally wheels.

seems like SOMEBODY has been trying to convert me to metric all my life

**lolife99** · 01-02-2012, 07:47 PM

5-lug hubcap type wheels were available on:
71-87 2wd trucks.
71-91 2wd burbs.
71-82 2wd blazers.

5-lug ralley wheels were available in:
15x8
15x7
15x6.5 (van wheels)

The 88-98 2wd truck wheels didn't have a provision for a dog dish style hubcap.
(no nubs)
They had plastic center caps that were held on with plastic lug nut covers.
