need help on rim size

will 2007 tahoe 6 hole rims fit on 6 hole 66 chevy c10  

The should, I believe both are 6-5.5" bolt pattern. Just do a dry fit to double check.  

I believe that the 07 chev is a metric pattern that is hub-centric. that means that the center of the wheel is what keeps it centered and not so much the lug nuts.  

I have replaced the front suspension of my '64 C-10 with that of a 1985 Suburban. Obviously, I now have (in addition to disc brakes) a five stud rotor. My delimma is that I need to find a five hole wheel to fit the new suspension but one that will also let me use the original 10-1/8th inch original '64 hubcaps.  Has anyone encountered this before and can say for sure what year model wheel will meet my needs. By the way, this ia a 15" wheel.  Thanks.  

I believe that they went to the disc brake front end in early 70's. Wheels from that vintage should accept your hub caps.. and would be the same 5 hole bolt pattern. I just recently did a frame off on a 63 GMC and researched this same problem.. Weighed the difference in costs and labor to install newer front suspension versus aftermarket disc brakes.. The guy decided to stay with the factory drums for now untill he can afford to go with the aftermarket setup. they way you did it by far cheaper and really the same set up. I would think that virtually any factory two wheel drive wheels from that early 70's era should work for you.  

Thanks Damon...I'm thinking the same thing.  You would think those wheels would be plentiful but I'm still looking. Back to the front suspension swap. I'm probably preaching to the choir here but "everyone" told me when I came up with this swap idea that the crossmember and entire assembly would bolt up to any year model (half ton) from '60 to '87. I removed the old assembly, including crossmember and found the '85 Suburban crossmember was about a half inch too narrow so I ended up using the original crossmember and adding on all the '85 parts. As it turned out, I found out the '85 had been wrecked and the impact had bent the crossmember but it wasn't enough to be obvious. So, yes, they will bolt directly in from '60 to '87 as I was told. "Everyone" also said there were two holes that you will have to ream out a bit for the holes to line up exactly. I wanted to post this info for others to see. I could not find any info on this when it was still on the drawing board. Thanks again.  

I just noticed your post!

I am starting a rebuild and wanted to see the cost difference between going to the junk yard and picking up the front suspension parts and brakes compared to buying them new from CPP?  Do you know what it might cost for a set up like yours?  In your opinon can I make this vehicle handle just the same with the junk yard parts and make them look newer?4 I would love to have new parts but my wife and I are planning on having our first baby and I see my dream of my vehicle going out the door for a couple of years if I don't find ways to lessen the cost.

Thanks,

Aaron, if it wasn't for junk yard parts most car projects would never have been built or never completed anyway. Go for it. I'm sure I don't have to tell you but be sure they are not damaged beyond repair. I've used CPP and others and found their parts to work great but they don't look any better than an old part that has been cleaned and in some cases, painted, depending on the part. Even using the cast iron paint makes a brake caliper look new. Parts like bearings, hoses and such I would buy new. Good luck with your project. By the way, I was working on my first car project when our first one was born. Extra money non existent in those days. I found I could stay in the loop if I would go to the shop and clean a part or just sit in my '41 Ford 2dr sedan and think of it being completed. I've built several since then. Hang in there Brother and good luck to you. Oh yea, CONGRATS on your first little one.

AAron,
I can empathize with you as I have three little ones, 5, 3 and 1. My time is short and money shorter. One thing I did was to search EBay. CPP has a store on there as well and you can get things less then what they sell in the catalog. Also I agree with Belltower as going to a junkyard is a good way to go if you know what you are looking for and don't mind removing, rebuilding and cleaning parts. I don't mind but don't always have the time. It goes slow but it's worth it in the end. Besides, the only one that has to be happy with it is you. Good Luck with your little one and your project.
