corvette wheels on a 81 chevy lwb
« on: May 24, 2002, 01:01:00 AM »
will 17x11 ZR-1 style rims fit on an 81 lwb ?
17" x 11" (+50mm offset/7.93" backspacing). The lug pattern is 5 X 120.65mm. and if not...can it be done...can get a great deal on a set of wheels.

THe offset will probably not look right on the truck. You could probably have them drilled but is it worth it? There are so many nice truck wheels available that wouldn't have to be messed with. What size tires would you run on the truck with those wheels? The deal you get on the wheels will most likely be lost in the cost of tires to fit those wheels

I am pretty sure Vette wheels have a different bolt pattern than our 5 on 5.  Late model Impala SS wheels are a direct fit though...
