What wheels will fit.? thanks | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Short answer, no. While the wheel will physically clear the brakes, the deep backspacing will make it rub the tie rods. I would suggest a '73-'87 soloid axle 4x4 wheel, like the Blazer Rallye Wheels. Other wheels for that fitment should work fine, too. I am making that suggestion based on you keeping the 6 lug bolt pattern.

Also I have heard of folks using spacers but most don't like that idea.
There are some options out there if you look around a bit.
