Title: 15x5 5 lug OEM wheel specs
Post by: BADAZ chevy guy on April 02, 2014, 01:32:14 am
I'm headed out this weekend to get my truck (Finely!) Trouble is, it won't fit on the car dolly with the tires it currently has on it. I need to find a set on stock 15" rims at the junk yard, but I don't know what the center hole size is. HELP? 1977 C10 15" w/ 5x5 lug pattern.

Don't know the spec but if you get the steel rims from a 1998 or older you will be fine

1988-98 the rims are closer to the frame if that makes sense

Thanks for the feed back guys. The reason I need to know the actual size is that most of the wheels in a junk yard aren't still on a vehicle. So, when I find one with the right lug pattern, I'm not sure if it came from a Chevy, Ford, whatever.

The pictures is what you should be looking for.  These are off my 1992, notice you can't put a small hubcap on it.

Thank you. Can you measure the center hole please? I'm not looking for the stock wheels for a resto project. I just the stock center hole SIZE so I can find wheels at a junk yard. I need to get a set of stock tires on the truck to fit the truck on a tow dolly to bring it home.

3 1/8" as close as I can measure the oblong hole
