c10: Baer vs???

[ScotI]

Just looking for wheels that will fit over the Z06 option. I found a set of Z06 wheels but they are 5x4.75... and +53mm and +59mm offset on a 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 wheels...wrong bolt pattern...
What wheels are out there that fit the bolt pattern/clear the calipers (Z06) and have the 4.5 inch backspacing needed to clear a 64 fleetside with tubular arms and probably no tub in the rear?

Coys C5?

o-connor,

I have a 64 C10 Short Fleetside also. I just picked it up 3 weeks ago and everything was original. No power steering and all drum brakes. I live in Huntington Beach, Ca, so I went to a local company called Classic Performance and picked up a lot of goodies. I am also converting from the six lug to the 5on5" bolt pattern. They have a very knowledgeable staff and a good selection on "package upgrades". I am adding disc brakes to all 4 corners, new upper and lower tubular control arms, new 2.5" drop spindles, new rear axles, all new springs and shocks, new PS kit and new under bed fuel tank. I just picked up all the parts last Sat and will post again after everything is installed. If you have questions, you can always give Jeff at Classic Performance a call (1 714 522 2000 ext.114). He knows these truck really well and is super friendly.

I am also searching for a rim in the 5on5" bolt pattern and will post what I find.

Don't know what type of wheel your looking for or if these will clear the Z06 brakes, but the following is what I am looking at in a 5on5" (aka 5x127) bolt pattern. I am leaning more toward the "old school" look with better handeling/power. Hope the info helps.
