86 C10 wheel specs

[mikeasis]

Im looking for some replacement wheels for my 86 c10. Im running 235 75 15's for tires. I THINK I need 15x7 inch wheels with 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern with 3 and 3/4 back spacing? apologies as I did try to search for this info.

Looking at these classics...

Those will fit your truck and tire size. The actual wheel size in 86 was 15x8 rally wheel with 5x5 bolt pattern and 4.25in back space with 235/75/15 tire. Base models had 15x6 with 205,215, or 225/75/15 tires.

thanks for the reply. It is a base model custom deluxe and I believe the stock tires where 205 75 15.

not finding the wheels with 4.25 back spacing.

You can use the 3.75in bs on the 15x7 rim with no problem.

would the 8 inch wheels have issues?

No, they would work fine as well but you will probably only find them with 4in of bs which is perfectly fine.

may I ask what size you would recommend with the 235 75 15

thanks for helping!

I would go with the 15x8 with 4in bs. They were that size from the factory and you would have the option for a little bit larger tires later.

I cant seem to find them with 4 inch back spacing either.

would 15x8 and 3.75 back spacing be ok.

again thanks for the help.

3.75in bs will be fine as long as you dont lower the truck too much with wider tires. The wheels will just move outward .5in over stock rallys
