Good morning friends... I came across some 6 lug 16" Chevy factory wheels that fit a 2k Sliverado. Being they are steel wheels, factory and chromed, I was thinking about trying them on my 64. I have a set of stock 70's rally wheels on it now but was thinking these would look better. I could get some tires the match the stock height etc.. I am not sure about the width etc.. I know that may be an issue...
What do you guys thing..maybe you have tried it before?

At any rate I have not been out here in a while and wanted to say hey... i hope you all are doing good..
God bless, Michael

Hi Michael, I had a flat on my 66 one time and tried to use the steel spare from the 94 suburban that I had had at the time and the offset was way off. I imagine you may run into the same problem. Hope that helps.

Michael,
Good to see another SC fella on here! Hello from Columbia! Measure the backspacing on the wheels you have on the truck now. If the 16" wheels have similar backspacing you should be alright. I think the backspacing on the factory steel wheels on the 1964 trucks were around 3.5 or maybe 3.75". With 16" wheels, you can probably do OK with backspacing of 3.75" if you are running drum brakes. Make sure you test fit the new wheel on the front before you hand over the cash.

Here's a helpful website to learn what all the terms mean if you aren't familiar with them.

The wheels from the '99 and up Silverado will not work, the backspace is too deep.
