Steel wheels and OEM hub caps question

[Atl-atl]

Please excuse my ignorance on this subject but its hard to search for things this specific. I found a set of the factory dog dish hubcaps that I want to run on my truck. They are on ebay and the seller claims they are "for 16" wheels." Will they also work with 15s? I plan to run them on Wheel Vintiques OE style series 62 in 15x8 like these that appear to be in stock at Summit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wvi-62-5806044 The Summit ad even shows them with these exact hubcaps. I just want to make sure I dont get ones that wont fit.

The 6 spoke hub caps are 12" in diameter for 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. They will fit 16" wheels. I believe the 5 spoke are 10" for 1/2 ton trucks and they fit 15" wheels.

How do you explain this picture then?

It's also important to keep in mind that if you are running 1 ton axles the lockouts are larger than 3/4 ton. You will have to enlarge the opening or drill a 2wd set to fit if you aren't using an OEM set

Those are the early version. The ones you have in the first picture are from the '80s-ish.

Those are an earlier style. I don't know about those.

Smaller 10" caps fit 15"s and 12" caps fit 16" and 16.5" wheels. This is true for early and late styles.

I'm sure there are people on CK5 with sets of the 10" caps that fit on 15" wheels they'd be willing to sell. I may be one of those people, but I'd prefer to keep mine as garage wall art.

Those are for a K20.

This is a C20/C30/K20/K30 (R20/V20/R30/V30….) cap on the left, and a C10/K10 cap on the right.

There are two different styles of front K10 caps. I have never figured out the reason for the difference? Year break?

Is that Craig Artzner's K5 in the Summit pictures?

Haha thanks, I found a reasonably priced set on ebay and already snagged them.

I’ll be that guy….

Should have got the 6 spoke caps. And 8 lug rotors up front and a 3/4 ton 14b full floater to run the 16” wheels.

But I know you are in a time crunch so it’s all good.
