Thanks, Matt.

There seems to be a bit of contradictory information on the steel wheels that will fit. I found these locally:
https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/wto/d/chevy-dually-wheels-for/63398456
94.html . According to the seller, they fit 1973-88 Chevy 1-ton. By chance could you tell by the pictures if they are the correct ones, or help with with correct identification markings I should be looking for?

Thanks,

-Dave

Dave,

By the time I came in from working on my own coach (well, sort of) the CL listing had been removed.

Simple answers, to fit your coach right, the wheels have to look like what you have. That is to say a round spider (or barrel - the part inside the rim) and they pretty much have to have a 4-9/16 bore. The bore is essential to make the wheels center correctly. The round spider is needed to clear the front calipers. So, unless you can contact the seller and have him actually measure that bore, there is not much you can do. Some Round Spider wheels do come with the wrong bore.

You did get a response from someone on the net. I hope it works out for you.

Matt
