Doesn't look off center, just too big. Reason it caught my eye is that I had this idea that I could make 16" 88-98 wheels fit on solid axle square body 4x4 by cutting out the center hole since the bolt circle is the same. It doesn't work because of the back space

So anyway I didn't think those cut-out wheels would be safe on the originally designed pickup because the weight would all be on the lug bolts (I didn't have the 89 when I tried to make the wheels work on the Suburban). Now three of those wheels are filled with rocks holding up t-posts in places where you can't drive them into the ground. And one of them is serving as a tire chain basket.

Or maybe that wheel is for something different and just happened to sort of fit? I guess if you're running a tire flat that long you aren't too particular about wheel applications either
