57 6 lug wheels
Hey guys I just picked up a 57 chevy truck for restore project and I got a question about the wheels.
It has 6 lug bolt pattern and I was wondering if the late model 4x4 6 lug wheels will fit to these 57 stock axles or do I need to look for special wheels for this era? I want to go with Rally wheels! Thanks for your help! Jeff |

Re: 57 6 lug wheels
Aren't there some center hole differences?

Re: 57 6 lug wheels
Later wheels will fit with no problems up to about 87. Newer than that, the bolt pattern is still the same but the center hole will be too small to fit over the hubs.

Re: 57 6 lug wheels
Well then let me ask you this! Can I convert the 6 lug drums to 5 lug rotors "4 Wheel disc" or will the spindles have to be changed out for being different sizes?

Re: 57 6 lug wheels
You can get disc conversions for the fronts that have 5 lug rotors and keep your stock spindles. For rear discs you will probably have to swap the entire rear axle. I am not aware of anyone who sells a disc conversion for the stock 57 rear.

Re: 57 6 lug wheels

I think Ill just stay with the 6 lugs and keep it original but I do want to convert to disc brakes in front! |
