Default wheels?

this is a really stupid question considering i could walk outside my house and just try but instead id see if any u guys knew, i have a 2002 silverado 1/2 ton w/16x8 wheels i think the bolt pattern is like 6 on 5.5 or somethin, i also have a 1975 silverado 1/2 ton, non locking hubs, i know its 6 lug too. would my 02' wheels work on my 75'? thanks guys

I think they will bolt up but the offset and backspacing would probably look like poo...

too much backspacing, they will hit your 75's 4x4 tierod ends...max BS is 4"

Also, they must have a large centerbore for the hub's to push thru...even auto hubs. If your wheels are hubcentric (caps removeable from outside of wheel) they wont fit that either.

I learned this from experience. I had an 87 K5 and tried to put 16's with 4.5" backspacing and they hit the tie-rods...luckily the dealer took them back and exchanged them.
