Rob,
I didn't post a picture, but you will see the wheels everywhere. They are
common on Chevy and GMC 2500 pickups and have been for many years. I think
anything from about 2000 on. GM has stayed with the 6.5 inch bolt circle, but
has gone to a metric stud and that means that the lug nuts will have to be
"special". They are conical seat nuts with an extra thread on the OD to hold
the hubcap, and I suppose that means they are "lug-centered". Find a set from a
GMC and there will even be a cool GMC logo on the hubcap. Maybe I should figure
out how to post pictures....:-)
There were also aluminum wheels used on 80's Ford pickups that were smooth with
round holes and they might be even better as the look would match that of the
Aloca's. But they didn't have cool looking hubcaps. And I suppose one could
worry about having wheels with two different offsets on the coach, but I don't
think it is a problem.
Gary,
From Rob:
What wheels did you use on the front end? I did a search for Caseyg and
gcasey on the photo site in case you had already posted pictures.
Regards,
Rob M.
