86 C20 rim swap for 03 2500
« on: February 25, 2009, 05:42:06 pm »
i was wondering if anyone knew if the rims and tires off an 03 2500 would bolt right on my 86 C20?

The rims will fit but what about the lug nuts? I'm not sure but i think the 2003 will be metric and the 86 will not.

i will be stripping these tires off a work truck, so i will be getting the lug nuts and center caps as well, the new lug nuts will still fit right?

the lug nuts off of the newer truck won't work.  they're metric.  you can use your old lugs off your truck to mount the wheels, but you have to get a set of the conversion lug nuts (the link in the post with my truck pic)  if you want to use the center caps.

anyone know where to get them in edmonton, alberta?
the ones on ebay would be a total of over $60, there should be some cheaper ones out there i would think.
Is there a vehicle i could pull them off of in the wreckers?

That is a fair price. Save yourself the headaches and get them
