Re: Wide stock six lug rims

I found some on summit racing online. Just had to filter the options down to find the 6 lug ones and they run 14-16 steelies upto 10" wide. Good luck!

Re: Wide stock six lug rims

Not every 6-lug rim will fit. I would do a mock-up out of cardboard as the site suggests. It is easier than getting the wrong rim and having to ship them back.
Offset and Backspacing make all the difference, not just the width.

I didn't know any of that and tried to bolt on a tire and rim from my new GMC and it wouldn't begin to fit my '66. Same 6-lug pattern, different offset and backspacing.
