If the wheels are alloy you will need alloy wheel nuts

Thx for this. Did a bit more looking and the $50/wheel bargin isn't a bargin once the much more expensive spacers required to clear the drums are added in. I guess I am going to stick with my original 15" wheels.

Disco steel rims are the best choice and are quite common

Ok, thanks much, will look around and see what I can find. Am not sure if the old 15" wheels can take a radial tire or not. They are "6Lx15x31 F3G" with "L' = wheel contour? Is that right? Can the "L" handle a radial, or does this wheel take a tubed tire only, and a radial requires a "J" contour? The part #526753 is stamped on the wheel and is still listed on Craddock.

Nearly all rims should take radial tyres but your rims maybe be tube rims and not tubless

Radial just means the construction of the tyre eg; light truck or 10ply etc
