Hey Bill,
You're right!
The rims that are on the truck right now are 15", and they do have six
lugs, but there are no hubcap clips, and the hubcap that I have does
seem to be too big to fit flush on the front face of the rim.
I wonder where these rims came from...
Thanks for pointing out this to me.
