No, not stepping on a thread. rharris is looking for 15" 6 lugs and the differentiation between 70 and older and 71 and newer is important for him to be aware of. The 70 and older 6 lugs have an angled inner rim that will interfere with a stock caliper. Many, many threads on here about that already. Center hub hole size is not the issue, rim inside taper is. Most reference 3 vs 4 nub as an easy way to ID the older vs newer 6 lug wheels as davischev pointed out correctly.

rharris, if you need to clear disks, you need a 71 or newer k5 or k10 wheel if you want the wide stock steelie look. Yes, getting hard to find. If no disks, any 6 lug will clear all drums, but 8" might not be an option in the older wheels.
