Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Not wanting to hijack the thread but I am looking for advice of what vehicle I can do a swap out of rear axle that has disc breaks positraction and something that doesn't have to be cut on to make it work. I have a 72 c20 and want to stay with the same wheel package that I already have. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.
Please pm me if anyone has any info. Thanks Robert

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Extended72 there are kits out there for the C-20 I retrofit my 71 C-20 Longhorn with disc brakes out back for less than 500.00 with quality parts. the biggest trick on the C-20/30's are the rear hubs they rotor has to go on the back if the hub so when you do the job or need to turn the rotors you have to remove the hubs and that is time consuming but worth it for sure.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I have 8.25 & 9.75 -16.5 steelies but not looking like a truck for them for a while. Can't go wrong on a C/20. Guys never worried with hubcaps,either. I remember black wheels. They look great with chrome lugs

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I sold my 6" springs, 16.5 x 8.25 white PC'd steelies, and 37/12.50 SSRs I had for my '72. The plan now is 4" lift with 16 x 8 steelies with 35/10.50s and I still have a set of 9.75 x 16.5 aluminum slots with 35/12.50 BFG A/Ts

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
If you're asking about the conversion duplex lugs like GM used (14mm) to hold 88-up center caps on* that are 9/16, a tire store should be able to hook you up. Possibly a real parts store,too. I get them from wheel accessory guys at big swap meets
*plastic lug cap screws on over lug to hold center cap

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
There is a guy on eBay that sells the external thread lug nuts for our trucks in packs of 32. I got mine from him and I also found someone with new plastic lug nut covers as well as Dually center caps. Good luck!

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
They are 16 x 10 wheel vintiques. Ordered through summit. Cheaper than W/vintiques direct.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Do your wheels stick out of your wheel openings? I am interested in buying two of these for the rear of my truck but i dont want anything sticking out past my wheel openings.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
i figured with a fair share of the 8-luggers out there running 16.5's, this'd be a good place to ask...
Any of you guys lowered on 16.5's? If so, post em up and let us know your tire size. Also, what's the smallest 16.5 tire you guys have ever run? Any pics? |

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
That sucks. I want to get some for my lowered c20 but i cant have the wheel stick out. They gotta be tucked in. I guess the 16×8s would do the trick

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Plenty I think, would have to measure for exactness. The offset would definitely be worth checking out. I'll try to slip out tomorrow nite and put a tape on it.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I don't know how well this will translate to your C-20, and with my lift, I had to run a straight edge down. Sidewall is 1 1/8" and the edge of the rim is another 1 1/4. Again, don't know if this will help. Mine is eaton rear out of a 70.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
thought this would be a good place to ask.. will the 8 lug aluminum wheels off of a 2007 chevy fit my 1972 c20? I read some years will fit but not sure about 2007.
