I heard they will hit the tie rods ? does any one know what kind of rim I can use? Can I use wheel spacers? Thanks , stuck without wheels in Ma. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 A teacher, but always an apprentice. | | A teacher, but always an apprentice.

I run 215/85/16 tires. It dropped the tire height a little bit but that ole one ton sure rides nicely. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 299 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 299 | I used these same rims on my 53 Chevrolet 3600. They fit perfectly!!

Will the original hubcaps work with these? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 A teacher, but always an apprentice. | | A teacher, but always an apprentice. Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 | I have heard that they will but with an asterisk...
You have to reuse original hub cap clips (or, yeesh, buy reproductions) and drill the rims, rivet or weld on the clips and you’re good to go.
I have original clips from my old rims but haven’t built up the courage to drill into these nice rims.
