Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Currently running 15" x 10" alloy aluminum wheels but would strongly consider running these 20" Rally reproduction wheels from US Mags in white or grey.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Thank you - I miss that one. 4" lift and 33 x 10.5" old style BFGs. I went with zero lift on my current Blazer with same size tires. With the 4" lift it was tough for my wife to get inside. That said, I still added the accessory steps to my zero lift current Blazer for her.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Awesome. I'm running the 12.5/33's - no lift but new leafs so it sits up decently. Thinking of going to the 10.5s for potentially better steering.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Rsavage, what is the backspacing on those wheel vintiques? And do the stock dig dish hubcaps fit onto the nubs?

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
I believe they are 4.25" back space. It puts the inside edge extremely close to the tie rod ends. Thought I would have to run 1/4" spacers so put some longer studs in the hubs in preparation but ended up not needing to. The nubs accept stock type caps. One thing I found is that these wheels are not perfectly true from the manufacturer. I didn't notice that on the 15 X 6 set on bought for my Vette or the 14 X 7 set I put on the 65 GTO. Had to make sure that the two used on the front of the Blazer ran true - that's how close the inside wheel lip is to the tie rod end.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Thanks! That is great info. I like that you can use the stock caps, but my concern also was whether or not they would clear the tie rods in front. I have an older set of 15x8 wheels that are about 3-7/8" backspace and they are fairly close as well. Maybe I should restore these instead of buying new. Hmmmm....

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
Here's my 71. I had a set of 16X7's made for it with maximum backspace. (If I remember correctly, 4 1/4" backspace). It has a set of 235/85/R16 Hercules mudders mounted up on them

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
What size tire are you running? Do your Steelies have 4 nubs? I’m trying to find some. But only found with 3 nubs so far.

Re: Who's running steelies on their K5 - post your pics
They are 12:50 x 33” on 8” 4 nub Steele’s. My buddy just found some 3 nub from firestone with the correct back spacing for the calipers. I was always told 3 nub does not clear. I just saw hillbilly wizard.com has some m1009 rims but they are pricey. Mine are m1009 rims
