late model wheels on an 86
 

Will these 16" wheels fit on a 86 4x4? I found a good deal on some 90's model alum 6 lug wheels with new nittos that I would love to have, mainly for the tires but would run the wheels if they would work. I know i would have to modify the front caps for the hubs but is there anything else i'm missing?

i think they should fit if they are the same bolt pattern. i have some newer style rims on my truck, but my truck is 5 lug

if its the same lug pattern they should match up, but you will have to get new lug nuts

yes

Measure the center holes to ensure that they will fit over your hubs before you buy. I know that web page says they will fit, but I recall the newer trucks having a smaller center hole than our square bodies. Let us know if they fit.

that's what I thought and for the front you will have to open it through the wheel for the hub or does the center cap come off

Thanks for all the imput. I will check the center hub size. that is what I was most worried about.

Re: late model wheels on an 86
 

I'm pretty sure the offset is also different and the newer wheels have an extra inch of back spacing, I'm not 100% on this though.

Re: late model wheels on an 86
 

even if they are they should tuck in those big finders.:lol:

Re: late model wheels on an 86
 

I have tryed this on a 4x4. The offset is a little off so they are tucked too far in and the fronts will not go on over the hub.

Re: late model wheels on an 86
 

So your saying the wheel won't fit up to the hub because of the offset correct. That is a problem.

Re: late model wheels on an 86
 

The center hub hole is too small.. you would have to machine it out to make it work.

Re: late model wheels on an 86
 

Thanks that's what I was needing to know

Re: late model wheels on an 86
 

no I was saying the front hub will not fit threw the hole in the rim AND the offset is off. but can be corrected with spacers. I dont know what you would do about the hub fitting the hole tho.

yes those wheels will fit on on an 80s and 70s trucks with a 6 bolt wheel pattern on the axels i have seen those era of trucks with the same wheels on them in calgary alberta when i use to live there
