19 inch wheel question

[Joshua8336]

hello all, i'm fixing to get my restoration rolling, and i've came across some wheels i would love to put on my 85.they are c6 corvette z06 wheels. so the bolt pattern isn't going to match up. they are 5x120.65 with a +65mm offset. my question is this, are adapters available to put these on my truck? and also, what size tires would i need to run for a 19x10, i plan on lowering my truck 7 inches up front, and 8 inches in the rear.

Not Sure about the adapter, but there are a few problems you will run into with the tires. I worked for Discount Tire, America's Tire for 4 years and finding a 19" tire that will support the weight that truck will be dificult. You could put vet tires on it, but you would just eat them up, and you run the risk of the tire failing. Also 19s are super expensive tires because they are not as common. Just some food for thought. You might be better off going for 20's, there several wheel companies that make wheels with that similar design. TSW, etc... Good luck with that.

What front crossmember and control arms do you have? Your going to be digging up pavement at 7in on a stock front suspension.
