newer wheels or rims on 1984 suburban

[ajbirken]

I have an 84 suburban k1500 (not lifted) that needs new shoes

It has a 6x5.5 lug pattern

what years/makes that share this lug pattern will work? 92 and up chevy?

I am mostly concerned about clearing the hubs and rotors.

ie different backspacing or center holes. I know that the lugs will line up.

thanks in advance

88-up ifs 4x4 stuff will not work. backsapce is to deep and hub hole way to small.
watch for deals on stuff from toyota and nissan also in aftermarket rims as thay did 6x5.5 pattern.

Even on older wheels, watch for backspacing due to passenger side tie rod clearance.....frankly newer wheels ( from IFS setup ) look weird on older trucks

thanks for the info.

It looked like the newer wheels have too much backspacing.

I picked up a cheap set of 31's on craigslist and put them on the original rally wheels.

thanks
