Re: C20 rim selection
There used to be 15's in 8 lug, and they pop up every once in awhile. The problem is 15's are rotting on the vine with tire selection. I still love them in the right application, but would much rather run 17's. For better tire construction, and modern patterns for driving in rain.
I am not a hub cap guy, but I believe you can get 16's, and 17's in some classic styles. That will accept hub caps. Plus some nice classic styled rims in aluminum. Plus my personal opinion is that 17's with 60 series rubber fill the the wheel wells just right, and maintain the look of 15's for me. |

Re: C20 rim selection
you could find two more 16" wheels to replace the 16.5s and then search for the 16" wheel -to- 15" wheel cover adapter rings - they allow you to run a 15" wheel cover on a 16" wheel. They come up for sale every once in a blue moon, but not exactly something every trucker is looking for either - so if you post a wtb, you never know, some might pop up. Might want to get those and THEN look for your wheels, but 16" wheels are easier to find than the 16" -to- 15" wheel cover adapters. Believe they were more a square body year thing, but they were available.
