Wheel/Rim question... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I tried two different sets and on both the center hole was to small...What do you guys do? And what about getting after market wheels? Do you guys open the holes up? I kind of like the deep Blazer wheel, What year bolts up with no problem?

A lot of aftermarkt wheels have larger center bores so they will fit numerous vehicles. My truck has HD brakes from a 75 on it and the hub is massive. I'm using stock steelies from a 92 and had to grind 4 small ears from the center hole to get them to fit.

Post #7 on the following thread shows a list of factory hubcap style wheels that have the big center hole. I'm "assuming" rally wheels from the same period would also work:
