Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
15x8 5-lug 5x5 pattern wheels are almost impossible to find.
I've never ever seen a set in person. The 15x6.5 5-lug 71-87 2wd steel wheels are still out there. The 15x6.5 6-lug steel wheels (71-87 4x4) are getting extremely hard to find. This is the wheel, that the 6-lug disc brake conversion guys, want.

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
Yeah I know. Im down with the sickness. They are right below the 15x8 6 luggers and down from the 15x7 6 lugger rallies. Im missing two of them, i sold two to the guy you sent me last year from Dallas area. I was told the 2 15x7 5on5 wheels came off a big GM car. I got them blasted and ready to paint. Hope they work out. I will take pictures tomorrow.

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
The 15x7 versions were standard big car equipment (caprice's, station wagons, etc...).

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
Thanks to member STP67-72,... I have these pics of some of the more rare 15" 5-lug steelies that came in the 5x5 truck pattern.
First are the 15x7 "big car" wheels found on Impala, Caprice, Wagons, etc. Notice the 5 "bumps" between the lug stud holes? Compare that to the 71-87 15x6.5 wheel in the last picture. These wheels are "smooth" between the lug stud holes.

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
Next are the SUPER rare 15x8 5-lug 5x5 bolt pattern wheels.
(Steve thought these came on 2wd blazers) They look PERFECT on the back of these trucks with dogdish style hubcaps. Thanks again for the pics from member STP67-72. (I couldn't help notice all the wheels, on the shelves, in the background!)

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
Keith, what about the possible issue of the 15 inch steel wheels not fitting over drop spindles. I was talking to Dino at the Brothers Show about his truck and he brought that possibility up.

Not sure what your concern would be? The 5-lug steelies would be no different than a truck rally wheel. (since they were made for 71-87 trucks and 88-91 2wd burbs, that all came with disc brakes) The issue is when you have a 15" wheel with more than 4" of backspace. Ususally between 3.5"-4.25" BS you will need to trim the lower a-arm (in the balljoint area) to make them work with 2.5" and 3" drop spindles. The real concern is when people do a 6-lug disc brake conversion,... and try to use pre-'71 steel wheels that aren't designed to clear the disc brake caliper.

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
That's probably what he was talking about.

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
I have a question that can probably be answered here. I am doing the disc brake conversion on my 64 and planned on running the 88-98 steel wheels and changing the rear to 5 lug but then I came accross some 5 lug steelies with the nubs that match the factory 6 lugs in the rear. I was wondering if I could run the five lug steelies with the nubs in the front and the original six lugs in the rear with a cap that would cover both centers. I know the originals have three nubs and the 5 lugs have four but I was thinking of running these.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-Rally-...ht_1627wt_1161 or something like those. Not even sure if those would work. Sorry I know this isnt the 60-66 section but I found this thread in a search and didnt want to start another one. If anyone read all of that Thanks.

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
sounds like a plan. Not too worried about a spare. I only drive it very local and I'll keep the spares at home. Thanks!!

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
What hub cap options do you have with the wheel master oem wheels? I think they have the 4 nubs like the gm wheel.

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
I want to pic up a set of stock 71-72 wheels for my truck and I noticed that this thread lists them as being 15" x 6.5" but I noticed on the 72 truck brochure it lists the size as being 15" x 6" with a 15" x 5" being "available". My truck is a 1970 but I am planning to add OEM size disc brakes up front and I'm looking to maintain a stock look. So before I start looking too hard I was wondering if the wheel is stamped 15" x 6" or 15" x 6.5".

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
Hey guys, Jegs has Wheels Vintiques 15"x6" bare 62 series on sale for $63 each. That's over 23 bucks less than Summit. They say smoothie on the site but the part number and pic show OE nubs for dog dish caps. I just ordered a set. http://www.jegs.com/i/Wheel+Vintique...FQ9Efgod2o8Brg

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
Does anyone know the right offset for 18x8 on a 1978 2WD Blazer with a small drop... I was looking at either Mob Steel or Wheel Vintiques...

Re: 5-lug Hubcap/Steelie Style Wheel Options
have to stay in touch with this thread, great info.
Just help to some, I just ordered my trail gear 1" toyota spacers/adapters from summit this after noon to mount my 22" transports onto the factory drum/drum setup on my 67 C10. Buddy says they work mint and no clearance issues either and fills the fenderwells a bit better. He has done 2 or three now. Will try and remember to post my results. No spacers will rub the frame on the front and believe the axle center is to small on the rear axles to fit the hub centric hole.
