    Stock 1976 C10 - Need Wheel/Tire size help!

    Hello! I have a 1976 C10. The ride is bone stock and I’d like to keep it that way for the most part. The only thing I really want to change is in a perfect world I could find some 15 or 16” stock looking wheels that are wider with better backspacing and allow a wider tire solely for...

    Bolt pattern adapter

    Hello, Have any of used bolt pattern adapters? How do they hold up? Are there downsides to using them? I want 17x8 up front. That’s not a problem. I want 17x10 in the rear. I can’t get the rims I like in a 5x5(127). I can get them in a 5x114.3. Thoughts?

    Deciding on new wheels

    I made a post recently on a certain set of wheels and ended up opting out. After research and measuring. I think I’m going to go with some American Racing wheels that are 17x8 and buy some 245/70/17’s to match, I know 245 is pushing it for that wheel width. But wanted opinions on if that would...

    73 C10 Factory Hubcap Options

    Can anyone point me to a reference guide or have any information to share on what factory hubcap options word for 1973 C10? These are mine, but I’m wondering if these were the highest option that year, and when the steelies with small center cap and beauty ring came out. Thanks.

    Will this work with 35s?

    Recently came across this listing on BaT with someone running 35s: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-chevrolet-k10-silverado-2-2/ I know the tires are 35x12.50r15 and not sure about the wheel specs. I thought the general consensus here was that you needed a 4" lift with 35s to fit but that...

    16.5" wheel alternative

    So my newly-acquired pickup has the original 8.75x16.5 tires on the back, though it has 16 inchers on the front. I'm having a heck of a time finding low cost options for the rear. I'm looking for something to just get me by while i'm working on the rest of the truck. Basically looking for...

    Wheel back space

    Hi first time posting. Looking to get new wheels for my k10. Have crappy 10” wide wheels with spent tires so I’m trying to get a new setup before winter comes around. I have read elsewhere that a 4” backspace wheel will fit without hitting anything. However the wheels that I have on now measure...

    Front Tire Width

    Hi all, I've lowered my 78 c10 about 3 inches front and back, and I'm looking for new wheels and tires. I want 20s on it, and I know you can put 20x10s on the back, but is that okay on the front too, or does that make sharp turns iffy? Thanks, Ryan

    Steel or aluminum wheels for a camper truck ?

    My 85 K10 diesel has eagle 16" aluminum alloy wheels. I run 265/75R16 10 ply tires. They look great on the truck. My problem is my slide-in camper. It weighs 1100 lbs. The truck can handle the weight fine with the 3/4 ton springs front and rear. It is the thicker alloy wheels that bother me...

    3/4 ton? Wheels?

    Did I read some where, that Dodge 8 bolt 3/4 ton/1 ton Wheels are interchangeable with Chevy GMC 8 bolts? Thus the bolt patterns are the same?

    Will a 24” or 26” wheel fit?

    Hi guys, i’m new to group. I have a 90 2wd 2500 suburban. I got it just to put a big stereo system in it, so it’s not a daily driver. Stock height, if that changes it will be lowered, maybe not. I want to put some 24” or 26” wheels with low profile tires on it. Anybody else ever done that here...
