i have a 1991 gmc jimmy it has 5 lug 15" wheels with locking hubs.

i just got a great deal on a set of 33's for 16" rim so i figured how hard could it possably be to find some 16" steelies to slap these on.

well after checking 3 local bone yards all i found was a whole bunch of 6 lugs. i found one 90 k5 silverado with auto locking hubs but on crappy aluminum 15's with 195 car tires on them. lol

so what year range truck am i going to find a 5 lug that will fit my truck.

on another note i got a deal 2 years ago for new never installed lmc pannles one door fenders tailgate bolth inner outer qtr pannel. i never owed a k5 up untill 3 months ago i just felt for 200$ i couldnt go wrong. i did all the sheet metal up till the qtrs. than last weekend did the drivers qtr. wow what a pain. any helpfull advise on doing the other side. i did it with the top on. i read that it helped lined things up but found it to not help at all. if i didnt have a forklift handy i would have been in trouble.
 
What front end do you have if you have 5 lug?? Should be 6 in a GM truck. 2wd has 5 lug, but not with locking hubs. Sounds like someone swapped Ford hubs on there....
 
its 10 bolt front and rear im asuming i havent paid attention i guess. no years they came in a 5 bolt. the one in the junk yard was a 5 lug as well but it had the covers over the hub. it was 4wd because it had a a plow blade.

ill have to look into my axles.
 
I've never seen a 4wd K5 with 5 lugs from the factory, and in fact don't even know of any 5 lug 4wd fullsize GM trucks unless maybe really, really old.

If you own a 5 lug 4wd K5 and found another 5 lug 4wd K5 in the junkyard you need to take pictures and post them here!
 
If it's 5-lug, it's a 2WD. Or some swapped parts, but I don't know why somebody would do that.

If you really want some 5-lug wheels, stop looking at Chevys and get some Jeep or Ford wheels. You'll have to check the backspacing.
 
5 lug would mean s10 blazer not k5. 2 wheel pickups had 5 lug. 16 inch rims are usually 3/4 ton but not 5 lug either. /2 ton dodge Dakota's had 5 lugs as well as jeep and ford. Post a pic of your current setup hubs and axles and k5 so we can verify what you have.

S-10 would be 5 lug yes, but not with lockout hubs....probly a Bronco and though it was a Blazer...
 
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It was ifs like the new ones and didn't have lockouts. Who knows. Have to see if he comes back with pics and clarification.
