wheel size
Looking for aftermarket wheels for my 60 half ton stepside GMC. It has 6 lugs. Most offerings are 6 1/2 inch bolt patern. Is this correct for my truck? Thanks in advance.
actually in my haste, i made an error. The ones i've seen offered are 5.5 inch, not 6 1/2. Last edited by skysoldier173rd; 07-07-2010 at 09:42 PM. |

Re: wheel size
It should be 6 on 5-1/2". There is an 8 on 6-1/2" for 3/4 and 1 ton trucks, so whoever wrote the ad you saw might have gotten the two confused.

Re: wheel size
now that i got the size, i'm wondering about backspacing. Just looking, it appears there's a lot of room for wide tires, but I'd like to know for sure. What's about the max back spacing rim width the stepsides can handle without altering anything?

Re: wheel size
One more thing to consider is the center hole size, I purchased some late model wheels, and the center hole is too small, I ended up having a mechinest making them bigger.
