8 lug wheel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1968aj · 05-27-2015, 05:38 PM

anybody know if 8 lug aluminum wheels off off of a 2007 chevy truck will fit my 72 c20? I know some late model wheels fit just not sure about 2007 model.

hugger6933 · 05-27-2015, 06:04 PM

They will BUT, the offset is really a little too far in tucking the wheels kinda far inside the fender, from what i have come to understand some people don't mind it too much but others have been bothered by it and got some spacers to bring the wheel out.

THANKS. I can get a set for$100 . I will deal with the fitment at this price.

You will also need a set of special lugnuts that adapts to the wheels and your lugs. I got mine from lugnutking on eBay.

so the lug nuts that came with the 2007 will not work?

No, different threads. One is a metric and the old truck is a standard[SAE] thread.

I got these 2008 17"x7.5 dirt cheap and they fit great, mounted 285x70's on them. Perfect fit for me.

those look nice on there

1968aj · 05-27-2015, 10:07 PM

Well; I rushed over and bought these for $100. came with tires ; caps and lug nuts. lowest price I could find and I have been looking. I shined the one on the left to see how they would look.

chevy2inreno · 05-27-2015, 11:17 PM

They look great, any pics of them installed?

Be sure 9/16" is the correct size. They used 1/2" through 1970 and 9/16" in 71 and 72. However, a lot can happen in 40 plus years.

1968aj · 06-09-2015, 05:35 PM

finally got lug nuts and got tires and wheels installed. P26575R16 tires I am satisfied with offset.dont seem to sit too far in to me. now I am looking for some dually caps for the rear.

**71blksuper4x4** · 06-09-2015, 06:40 PM

The dually caps are too big in diameter to fit those wheels. I have both style caps. You will have to try a different style or make a spacer in the rear. Trevor

stacerbob · 06-09-2015, 07:28 PM

Just get the spacers and then the caps are deep enough

1968aj · 06-09-2015, 08:07 PM

what spacer ? one that fits behind wheel or for the cap itself?

suville · 06-09-2015, 08:44 PM
