Title: Wheel selection for 5 x 5" lug pattern.
Post by: spoon on August 29, 2008, 12:42:36 am

Hey.  Is it just me, or is the 5 x 5" lug pattern lacking variety?  I have a 1980 Silverado Stepside and I am wanting to mount 20x10's/rear and 18x10's/front.  I was looking at Weld/American Racing wheels and there seems to be a limited selection in wheels with my lug pattern.

Anyone car to point me in the right direction?

You may want to open up your search.  Billet specialties, Boyd, Coys all make rims with 5x5.

search for boss wheels. summit racing sells the 20" 335 series for about 200 bucks a piece. that's what i'm going to get for mine. why do you want the front so wide?

Thanks for the suggestions.  What's weird is, I just measured my lug pattern and got 4.75"... is this what it's supposed to be?

Foose designs has several options. These are the Legend series. Mine are 18x8 in front and 18x9 rear. Can get 20's as well

I had problems to with my old '77.  I ended up keeping and painting the stock "styled" or wagon wheels, though this was 13 years ago.

The Boss 335 is nice design, will this wheel fit with out any problems or would you have to use spacers? I am looking but it is hard to find a 5x5 20" that looks tough and not break the bank?
