6 lug wheel question
Would anyone be so kind as to fill me in on what wheels will fit a 65.
Im wanting to get the steel paintable wheels please. I have a set on there now that take tubes. Also they are a little skinny. Will any other model wheels fit the 6 lug without some crazy offset? I seen a few bagged trucks with what im looking for. I just dont want to bother messaging them unless I absolutly have to. The main one is Lacys truck? I think thats right. It is a patina blue short box on what looks to be stockers with hub caps. Thank you

Try going to the Wheel Vintiques or Wheel Smith websites they should have what you need unless you are looking for something used. There is also a vender thread on this sight that should give you a list of other companies.

I run the 71 and up 1/2 ton 2x ( up to 73) and 4x 6 lug wheels on mine. They clear disc's when you go that direction.

Re: 6 lug wheel question
The '73-'87 K10 pickups generally came with 6 lug steelies.
Here's another thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=532902 Where Are The 6-Lug Steel Wheels For My '66 Stepside?

Re: 6 lug wheel question
I picked up a set of 16" steelies from an early 90's GM truck application. The centerbores were too small, but being a steel wheel, a few minutes with the grinder fixed that little problem. I like the aged look of these old wheels in that they complement the condition of my truck, and they were $75 with decent tires. IMO, it is worth a search of Craigslist to see what's available in your area.

Re: 6 lug wheel question
Something wrong with stock steelies? Mine are stock steelies with 70's hubcaps. Modern 235/75R15 radials mounted to them.
