I have been looking at wheels for my new project, a 1985 Suburban, 3/4 ton, 16" 8 lug. It comes out of the shop Wednesday with a newly built 350.
I see new OEM take offs on eBay that some sellers claim they will fit all 8 lug 16" Chevy's while others say they are only for 89 and newer. Will fit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...402261643&rd=1 Will not fit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...402411718&rd=1 Has anyone here used these wheels for their truck? They look pretty good. Will they work? Thanks Mike |

Do the 73-91 Subs have the same bolt pattern as the 92-99? If so they fit. My roommate took the 8 lug wheels off his 2002 HD truck. The guy who bought them put them on a 98 Suburban. Looked really sharp too. If they fit check your local paper for some on sale. Even tire places might have a few they may want to sell. If you find out let us know.

Thanks gchemist.
I am mainly interested in the back spacing or offset? the bolt pattern should be the same, also are stock lugs long enough?

Backspacing is the key I seem to remember Our wheels being 3.25in backspaced but on the newer style it is more like 7in backspaced A good tire shop could tell you more accurately though
