Yup, that one works...

Anyone?

Am I on my own with this one? I guess I can pull my existing wheels off and measure for myself........

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 10-09-2005, 10:26 PM

yep, they should fit. i know our trucks(with 8 lugs

) have an 8x6.5 bolt pattern, but i ain't sure about the backspacing. you'll have to check that one yourself.

Ill bet if you asked about a 5 or 6 lug wheel, youd have an answer quicker than..... quick!

Sorry I couldnt help out on this one...

Yeah, I figure backspacing at 4.5 inches should be good. I was wondering about the center hole of the rim at 5.15 inches.....is that big enough to fit the 3/4 ton axles?
