15s and 16s

[Pmac]

Are there any bolt on 16 inch wheels that will bolt on the 5 lug bolt pattern?
'81 C1500.
Thanks.

Yes. Summit alone has 489 different wheels and I think there are more out there..

Although uncommon, there were factory 16's available for C10's. They were 16x5" though.

I bought some 5 lug 16” wagon wheel style rims from Discount Tire for a trailer. They had to order them overnight, but they are available.

There are likely 100 different style/size 16" wheels that will fit a half ton chevy.

These are the exact wheels that I am running. I have 16x7’s up front and 16x8’s out back. I bought them knowing that I was lowering my truck and proportionately, I thought 16’s would look good. I like these wheels, my only complaint is hubcap versatility. I was hoping you could slap some corvette rally caps on or something just to change up the look, but the center is a different diameter than like a 15” corvette Rally and only accepts certain hubcaps or at least that is my understanding from the test hubcap that I bought that doesn’t even snap it. I did find some hubcaps that say they fit wheel vintiques 12 series, but I ended up making custom mounts to hold 3/4 ton poverty caps. I also recently found a set of 1/2 ton poverty caps that I liked the diameter of better so I just re did my mounts yesterday for those.

Here it is with one of the 3/4 ton caps:

Here is one of the rear 16x8’s with the smaller 1/2 ton cap after I made new mounts:

Thanks! I have 3/4 GMC poverty caps to modify - I will start the search to determine the cost of shipping up here.
This is just what I was looking for.

Oh how funny haha. I had to get a little creative on the hubcap mounts for the 3/4 ton hubcaps, but you can get them to work. This is how I mounted the 3/4 ton caps.

Basically I made 2 fingers out of 1/2” conduit hold downs for the cap to hook on and then a slip over point on the opposite side

Takes some patience if you do it this way, but I got it to work just fine.
