What 6 lug wheels will fit my 50 chevy3100? Chevy colorado ? (power disc brakes on the front with spacers) Thanks

There are a bunch that have the same 6x5.5 bolt pattern. However you need to check the centre bore on the wheel. Colorado wheels are smaller I think.

What are some? will A LATE MODEL SILVERADO FIT?---- tHANKS

Use ebay as a search tool like I did. Look for 6x5.5 wheels. There's lots on there. Some have good descriptions which include the bore size.

The steel "Rally" wheels from a Chevy K5/Blazer will fit. They're 6 lug, 15" x 8" wide. Backspace is 3.5" so they clear the stock steering arms OK. I have these wheels fitted to my '50 truck, the wheel rims clear the 12" disc brakes I have fitted without a spacer, and although they are wider than the stock rim, they still clear the wheel arches.

OK, this is what I've heard....some Chevy trucks up to 1970 used this bolt pattern, then up to '87 4X4 had the right bolt pattern and back spaceing. 1988-2011 Silverados all use the same bolt pattern. I am currently running 17" after-market wheels with 265/70/17s that came off a 2006 Silverado. My brother tells me the Chevy Colorado wheels are a 6 on 5, as opposed to the 6 on 5.5 you need.

My truck is a '49 3100 with stock brakes & suspension. I have some aftermarket 15" alum. rims that were on a '89 Toyota 4x4. These were very common in late 80's/early 90's. It gives about 3/4" clearance on tie rods with no rubbing issues. Looks really good, too. 225/75 front & 31/10.5 on rear. These wheels are 6bolt with 12 holes perimeter design. I did have to upgrade the studs (stock 7/16) to longer 1/2" with same size shank. Stock Toyota steels rub the tie rods.
