I am the biggest wheel noob that exists.

[utherjorge]

I have a problem with my wheels and some curb hits a PO did to them. I have wanted to get new (well, new to me) wheels for some time. Good 'ol Craigslist has come through, perhaps. This is the description of these wheels, just around the corner from me. Also,I have no clue what size they are yet. No reply text yet.

"Up for sale are a set of 6 lug truck wheels. They should fit: Ford Dodge Chevrolet Chevy Toyota or any 6 lug truck/van/suv.

I am asking $40 for all 4 wheels. They are true and straight with no rust on them!"

I want to know if they'll fit my K. As I said....noob noob noob. I can't wrap my mind around wheels and tires for some reason.

They don't look right to me and not enough offset to clear the wheels/tires on the inside. They almost look like s-10 wheels but not quite right......

They look like this:

What should be the offset I'm looking for? Understand that I need new tires, so I'm not worried about what I have now. What's the min, pos or neg, etc.?

Appear to be the wrong offset. Pass.

You want a 3.5" to 4" back space on an 8" wide wheel. Basically puts the wheel mount surface in the middle of the wheel or closer to the back side.

I'll text this guy and see what he says. If he knows nothing, that will be enough. I personally thought the hubs looked small.

Also those wheels will never clear the 4wd hub or a full floater hub in the center.

 

[496truck]

They look like spare wheels for GM 1500 or Tahoe. Or maybe base model 1500 no frills work truck, and we're talking IFS models. Like I said, PASS.

I wouldn't expect a six lug wheel to work on a full floater anyway.

I'll ignore the self-fellating dog.

What about these?

4 pretty much new 16x7 white spoke wheel's $125.00 or best offer

And then, of course...how much of a pain is it to paint wheels black?

 

[82355]

Well those are 8 lug wheels.

And my stupidity knows no bounds. Onward and upward!

What part of PA are you in ?

 

[78SWB]

Find yourself some factory rally wheels.

 

[utherjorge]

Northwest, Warren to be exact.

Just checking, your a good ways out from here. I'm sure I've got some 6lug white wagon wheels or maybe a set of rally's floating around, but shipping would kill it and they are not worth a 6 hour drive either

Random highjack, but I used to go that way when I was at school at Towson...
