The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks question about crager rims for a 64 C20

this truck has 700-17 rims and tires can't find tires for it and coker wants a home loan for 4 tires.
im looking for a cheaper alternative to them and a found these.

crager nomad 15x7 8 lug 8x6.5 bolt pattern with a 4 inch backspace and 0.00 offset
just curious if this rim would work?

Those should work just fine, Wagon Wheel Cragars were made for trucks.

Are you planning to run stock width tires? Reason I ask is if you want to go with some wider tires the 7" wheel width may be a problem.

well john im hoping to keep it skinny. wide tires are a no no with no power steering

so maybe a 5x6 would work? because i can get bias LT nylon tires around 12 ply 7.00-15.

I run these on my C930 without p/s and do not find a problem. perhaps you are not eating your wheaties in the morning
